About the Artist

Classical guitarist and composer DAVID TEMPLE has
performed throughout the country as a soloist, accompanist
and ensemble player.  He is dedicated to presenting guitar
performances that are full of color and variety, and to making
the concert experience as enjoyable for the newcomer as for 
the experienced listener.

Concerts have included the Festival of the Arts at Mohonk, 
the Ulster Chamber Music Series, the Philadelphia
Classical Guitar Society, the Center for Performing Arts 
at Rhinebeck, the Foothills Performing Arts Center in Oneonta, 
NY, and many others.

A graduate of the music school at Eastern Michigan University, 
David is Artistic Director and Vice President of the Mid-Hudson
Classical Guitar Society, and teaches both guitar and composition
at Bard Conservatory, Preparatory Division, and at his home studio
in Red Hook, NY. 

He has produced four recordings, which include an eclectic
selection from the repertoire, as well as original arrangements
and compositions. Of his second recording, “Night Dances:
Music of Spain and Latin America,” Noah Fleisher of the
Taconic Weekend states:
 
“David is one of those rare musicians of any genre 
that is able to play directly what is coming from his head, 
without barrier between mind, finger and fretboard.”
