He was a top prizewinner in the International Beethoven Competition (U.S.A.) and was a semi-finalist at the International Franz Liszt Competition in Poland, where critics praised his "passionate artistry and electrifying virtuosity." Recent performances have taken him to China, South Korea, Spain and Italy, as well as New York, Minneapolis and Atlanta. In 2012 he released his third CD recording, entitled Perspectives. In addition to his solo concerts, McVey performs with his trio, the Trio St. Croix and regularly collaborates as a chamber musician.

He has presented at the College Music Society national conference and for the Wisconsin Music Teachers Association. An avid listener of rock music, jazz, rap and funk, McVey's other interests include cooking, playing chess, surfing and skiing.
