During the Schubert bicentenary year, the baritone presented the three Schubert cycles at Yale University, the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival and in Paris. During the past few seasons Lalli has been particularly active in the performance of chamber music. He has performed Schoenberg's Ode to Napoleon on the Lincoln Center Chamber Players series at Alice Tully Hall and has appeared with the Boston Camerata, the Arcadia Players, Sequitur and ARTEK. As a pianist he has participated in chamber music programs with the Mirror Visions Ensemble in Weill Recital Hall and Town Hall, and in Paris, London, Stockholm, Basel, Edinburgh and Budapest.

This season Lalli will perform William Walton's Façade with the composer's widow, Lady Susana Walton. He will give six concerts at the Musée Carnavalet, the museum of the city of Paris, and will be featured in the one-man chamber opera Cézanne's Doubt, by Daniel Rothman, at Princeton University.
With pianist Gary Chapman, Lalli has recorded four discs of popular songs. The two have appeared at festivals around the world and also in intimate spaces such as the Players' Club, the Carlyle, the Park Plaza and The Whitney Museum of American Art. Their recording accompanies a new Yale University Press publication, Listening to Classical American Popular Songs, by Allen Forte.
