SOLO REPERTOIRE

” …David very much enjoys challenges, this is one of the reasons why he is also a very sought after solo performer for modern music performances, Three concertos have already been written for him, another possible concerto by the composer Frederique Dhaene is in progress and David is very passionate in the prospect of commissioning works for the cello ( solo and with Orchestra ). Should anyone wishing to get involved or help in a similar project, please don’t hesitate to contact David or his agent through this website…”
