In 2018, David founded the Classical Notes Philharmonic with the mission of keeping classical music alive for a modern audience and future generations.

Previously, as a composer and pianist, David studied at the Gnessin Moscow Special School of Music and Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Russia, and he earned both his B.M. (Piano Performance) and M.M. (Conducting) degrees at the New England Conservatory in Boston, MA. David has received acclaim in Russia, Hungary, Austria, Canada, and the United States. His debut piano albums, published by Sony Music and Universal Music of Korea, both of which poignantly showcase the passion and sincerity of this remarkable triple-threat conductor, composer, and pianist.
