Cory holds a Master of Arts degree in Historical Performance Practice from the prestigious Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Switzerland and an Advance Diploma in vocal performance from the Glenn Gould School.

He has sung at major festivals and concert venues across Europe, including the Utrecht Early Music Festival, Trigonale Early Music Festival, and the Baroque Music Festival in Ambronay, France. Highlights of his work in Canada include singing with Pacific Opera Victoria, Les Violon Du Roy, Opera Atelier, La Chapelle de Québec, Soundstreams, and Tapestry Opera.
