After an Organ Scholarship at St Edmund Hall, Oxford, David continued his studies with Jennifer Partridge (piano accompaniment) and is a current organ and improvisation pupil of David Briggs.

In 2001 he founded a small business manufacturing glass furniture and decorative products, the bulk of which was sold in 2005 to allow for a full-time career in music; the bespoke furniture portion of the company remains and can be viewed here.

Since then, he has given performances as soloist and accompanist across the UK, Malta and Italy, released a CD to warm critical acclaim, and looks forward to a busy performing schedule for 2008.

In 2007 he became engaged to soprano Alice Wratten with whom the majority of his concert appearances are shared, and the two have formed a number of musical enterprises including Singing for Supper and Music Intuition, a teaching and youth music organisation based in Romsey which runs the Romsey Children's Choir and summer courses in addition to a wide portfolio of students of all ages and abilities. He is highly regarded for his knack of finding just the right level of support to bring out the strengths of choral societies and ensembles, amateur and professional.

Recent major choral works accompanied (in addition to standard repertoire such as Handel Messiah, Faure Requiem and Bach Christmas Oratorio) include -

  • David Owen Norris - Prayerbook (second performance)
  • Poulenc - Gloria
  • Malcolm Williamson - The World at the Manger
  • Leonard Bernstein - Chichester Psalms
  • John Rutter - Requiem, Te Deum and Mass of the Children
  • Britten - Rejoice in the Lamb, Missa Brevis, St Nicholas, Festival Te Deum and Noyes Fludde
