Charleston, SC, July 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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.
