“Classical guitarist David Steinhardt is one of the most promising artists of his generation. He has the heart, the intelligence and the potential technique to reach the highest levels of virtuosity. We will watch his career with great interest” (Nicholas Goluses, Eastman School of Music).
Winning over 10 competitions, David is the youngest guitarist to place first at the Hamilton International and Great Lakes Collegiate Guitar Competition. A sought after performer, David has concertized across the US, Canada, and Europe in venues including Merkin/Wigmore Hall and festivals including Hamilton, Montreal, and Ullapool International Guitar Festivals. Concerto highlights include his debut with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra at the age of 17 and the Los Angeles debut of Steve Goss’ Concerto of Colours with the USC Wind Ensemble. On the radio, David has performed for NPR’s From the Top, WXXI’s Backstage Pass, and Classical KUSC’s Sunday’s Live. Through online platforms, he has been featured by Guitar Salon International and Guy Traviss.
As a podcaster, David was host and producer of The Tonebase Classical Guitar Podcast.
