Lavino's choral and concert music, some of which is published by Boosey & Hawkes, has been performed in England, Spain, France, Belgium, Romania, and locations across the USA. In 2009, his choral piece "They have become bright stars", a commission for the choir of St Paul's Cathedral (UK), was premiered in the presence of Charles, Prince of Wales; Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall; and Prince Andrew, Duke of York. Lavino's piece "Nativity," commissioned by Choir & Organ magazine, was featured in the 2007 Classic FM Christmas Concert, and has been recorded by the choir of Westminster Abbey (James O'Donnell, cond.) for the Hyperion label.[1] His recent setting of three poems by W.H.

He also scored Alex Karpovsky's Woodpecker and Sam Neave's Cry Funny Happy, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.
