While performing as a soloist with international orchestras, he has also started his activity in chamber music with the Afflatus Quintet, a wind quintet formed with fellow musicians from his Czech Philharmonic Orchestra period and collaborates with renowned musicians such as Francois Leleux and Emanuel Pahud.

The horn maestro Hermann Baumann, respected by Baborak, commented, "His performance takes us to the festive atmosphere of the 18th century. His charming and sensitive tone resonates with extreme comfort to the ear. His performance, with its delicate and rich expression succeeds in maximizing the potential of the instrument and his interpretation creates a natural force and untainted simplicity.

The instrument he is currently playing is "Alexander 103".
