His cantorial career began at the Geary Street Temple in San Fran- cisco.

He organized, prepared and performed in the com- memorative concert celeb- rating the 25th anniversary of Israel independence. In 1972 he was instrumental in the development of a con- cert sponsored by the cul- tural commission (co- sponsored with Temple Is- rael) in which he was a lead- ing soloist. Cantor Barkin's first De- troit recital was presented by the music and drama di- vision of the Cultural Commission when he was accompanied by his brother Leo, a pianist, in 1969. The following year he planned and participated in a con- cert of special tribute to the late Mr. Dan Frohman, on his 25th anniversary pre- senting a world premiere of "The Holy Sabbath," a sac- red service by Mr. Frohman.
