The New York Times wrote about David Singer, “An exceptionally
gifted clarinetist…to describe his playing would be to enumerate a
catalogue of virtues.”
From Cab Driver to Carnegie Hall pulls back the metaphoric
curtain on David’s life; from adolescent and young adult struggles
to playing on the biggest stages of the world.
“I performed at the White House for President Carter and the
same day went back to NYC and drove a cab,” said David.
David takes you on a journey that weaves through the bustling
streets of NYC in his cab. In Seattle you go with him dodging dogs
and sometimes climbing fences at dawn to meet with construction
workers in order to sell his welding products.
David Singer will also take you on a jaw-dropping career
performing internationally and shares his personal stories with
some of the most unforgettable, highly celebrated musicians of the
twentieth century including Leonard Bernstein, Sir Yehudi Menuhin,
Rudolf Serkin, Yo-Yo Ma and the list goes on and on.
From Cab Driver to Carnegie Hall is available for purchase
online at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
