Music that Matters

Conductors shape the music. David Bernard shapes experiences.

Every rehearsal, every performance, every concert experience he brings begins from the same conviction: that music — fully inhabited, fully illuminated — is transformative. Not occasionally. Every time.

Gramophone. BBC Music Magazine. Fanfare. And cellist Zlatomir Fung, Gold Medal winner of the International Tchaikovsky Competition: "Far and away the most enriching and memorable" performance of the Dvořák Concerto he had ever given.

Symphonic Experiences

Music Director. Guest conductor. Recording artist. A rehearsal philosophy that musicians describe as the most transformative of their careers — and performances that Gramophone calls "elegant, thoughtful, well-balanced and sophisticated."

Film Conducting

From the world concert premiere of Star Trek VI to Jaws before 1,300 people at Tilles Center — film music conducted with full symphonic authority, for audiences who discover the music they thought they knew.

Individual Coaching, Seminars & Education

The same philosophy that drives every rehearsal — that every moment matters and every musician grows — brought directly to you.
