David Drosinos

David Drosinos received his diploma from the Peabody Conservatory of Music, where he studied clarinet with Loren Kitt, the principal clarinetist of the National Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Drosinos won the Sidney Jensen Memorial Award for outstanding clarinet performance and has been a guest artist at the embassies of Greece, France, and Russia in Washington, DC, as well as at the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City.

He is the principal clarinetist and soloist with the Maryland Lyric Opera and the Concert Artists of Baltimore. His performances have taken him across Greece, Ireland, Moscow, Finland, the Bahamas, and throughout the continental United States. His Greek Folk Band, Zephyros, was featured at the International Clarinet Association conference in Washington, DC. The Washington Post praised his playing for its "unusually smooth and agile touch," while the Baltimore Sun highlighted his performance of the Finzi Clarinet Concerto, noting that he "played the idyllic score with technical security, tonal warmth, and exceptionally eloquent phrasing."

In 2010, David traveled to St. Petersburg, Russia, where he produced the CD Portals and gave the international premiere and recording of the Sowash Clarinet Concerto with the St. Petersburg Symphony. A versatile and seasoned clarinetist, he has enchanted audiences from "Maryland to Moscow."

Mr. Drosinos resides in Cockeysville, Maryland, and is in high demand with performing groups throughout the Baltimore-Washington area. He also teaches at The Baltimore School for the Arts and The Peabody Preparatory.
