[5][6] In 2001 Clark started to explore ways of using his art to give back to the community, by asking his recital audience to donate for charity.

[2] During his time at Oberlin he envisioned to return to Louisville to start a professional baroque group,[7] but first continued his studies in Montreal at the McGill University with Luc Beauséjour [fr][8] and earned his Master of Music degree in harpsichord performance.

[2][5] In 2007, Clark co-founded the early music and historically informed performance ensemble Bourbon Baroque[9] with violinist and professor of French Nicolas Fortin, who he had met at McGill.

[11] Clark called the Messiah a wonderful piece and a universal message of love and hope that would be therapy for him and people that were touched by Nicolas Fortin.

[16] In June 2017, Clark was joined by violinist Alice Culin-Ellison as Bourbon Baroque's co-artistic director, and moved back to Louisville.

[7] In the summer of 2022, Clark began teaching in the musical theatre department at Youth Performing Arts School,[25] where he had previously been an accompanist.
