PERFORMANCE

In addition to his work as a composer and scholar, David is a pianist known for his advocacy of new music. He currently is a pianist for the chamber ensemble Out Of Context, though sometimes he manages to find time to explore additional performance opportunities. David is always interested in new performance projects, especially if they involve newly composed music or interesting programs of "Romantic"-era music by Liszt and his contemporaries.
