YouTube biographical interview with Heather Monkhouse.




David is one of Australia's finest oboists. He is a Churchill Fellow and a master teacher who was, until 2005, Associate Professor at the Australian National University. Much of his professional life has been dedicated to the art of the pedagogy of the oboe. Several of David's former students hold important orchestral positions in Australia and overseas. He has performed as soloist with most of Australia's symphony orchestras and the Australian Chamber Orchestra. As a member of the Canberra Wind Soloists, he has given concerts to great acclaim throughout the world. His many CDs are regularly broadcast on ABC Classic FM. David is currently the Principal Oboist with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra and Adjunct Professor at the UTAS Conservatorium of Music. In 2012 he performed the beautiful Oboe Concerto by Richard Strauss with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra.
