Lynn Klock is an active soloist and clinician throughout the United States and abroad. Of his New York debut in Carnegie Recital Hall, Peter G. Davis of the New York Times wrote, "Mr. Klock performed in the most skillful fashion...What impressed one most was how expertly Mr. Klock demonstrated the versatility of the instrument, its potential for weaving smooth legato lines, its flexible dynamic range from delicately whispered pianissimo to forceful dramatic statements without any loss of tonal quality, and its virtuoso ability to clearly articulate even the most rapid figures. Lynn Klock assembled a program that had a considerable amount of expressive variety and sheer musical charm."
As a recitalist, Mr. Klock has appeared in England, the British and American Virgin Islands, and Warsaw, Poland where he has the distinction of being the first saxophonist to be presented on the Warsaw Philharmonic Recital Series. As a chamber musician, he was the first saxophonist to tour with Musicians from Marlboro when he performed the Busch Quintet for Alto Saxophone and String Quartet on their East Coast tour in the Fall of 1991.

As a founding member of the Ancora Chamber Ensemble, he has also premiered more than twenty-five compositions.
