He is a member of the New York Philharmonic String Quartet, and has made regular appearances with the Tokyo and Emerson string quartets as well as The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and at festivals such as Spoleto, and the Santa Fe and La Jolla Chamber Music festivals. Carter, who grew up in South Salem cites as his major musical influences Judy Garland, Jascha Heifetz, Mstislav Rostropovich, Glenn Gould, and The Beatles.
