David Whitwell has dedicated his career to expanding the public perception of the trombone throughout the U.S. and the world. He is principal trombonist of a number of orchestral and chamber ensembles in the greater NYC area. As a soloist, he has been featured with orchestras and ensembles throughout the world, and each year undertakes a solo tour of Europe, performing his own brand of narratively programmed recitals with organists, pianists, and various other instrumentalists and composers across Italy, Germany, Sweden, the UK and Ireland. As a producer, he creates innovative narrative multimedia recitals; he has staged shows such as Sounds after the Oil War (Netherlands and Austria), Fear Is a Liar (New York), Howl, featuring a performance of the Allan Ginsberg poem of the same title, as well as the first performance of the Brahms Clarinet trio with a trombone.
