About

David was born in Korea and grew up in New York City, where he studied violin and piano at the Juilliard Pre-College Division. He later earned his Bachelor of Music from the Peabody Conservatory. These days, he plays violin with the Pasadena Community Orchestra and still loves making music with friends. When not performing, David is helping people buy or sell residential and commercial properties as a real estate agent with Keller Williams Los Feliz, focusing on North East LA and the San Gabriel Valley. He performs on violins by Charles Rufino (2000), Georg Klotz (1750), & on viola a Jamie Marie Lazzara (1999).
