As an organist, he played many great Parisians organs such as St Eustache’s, Trinités, St Augustin’s, Notre-Dame de Fatima’s, and Notre-Dame de Passy’s.

Forthcoming performances include a duet with Columbian horn player Esteban.

In solo, passionate about french 19 and 20's century composers, David loves to play works of Vidor, Alain, Vierne, or Messiaen. For the past three years, he wrote and played numerous transpositions of famous opera works overtures. He gave concerts devoted to the stars with various works such as Strauss’s Zarathustra, Holst’s Planets William’s Star Wars
