Honored in 2009 with an Academy Award, David Gompper has traveled the world working as a pianist, conductor and composer, and developing a fascination with all manner of things, from the experience of echoes in the mountains, to the images of popular film and TV, and even old Russian icons. Putting such disparate ideas into play, his music often has a tightly-organised yet free flowing character making it endlessly fascinating. David Gompper’s compositions are heard throughout the United States and Europe.
