The winner of numerous international prizes, he began taking piano lessons at the age of four and continued his studies with Jacques Rouvier at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris. David Fray performs at the world’s most prestigious concert halls and festivals. He works with conductors such as Semyon Bychkov, Paavo Järvi, Riccardo Muti, Yannick Nézet-Seguin, Esa-Pekka Salonen and Jaap van Zweden, and with the Orchestre de Paris, the Orchestre National de France, the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, the Berlin DSO, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Los Angeles and New York Philharmonics, and the Cleveland, San Francisco, Boston and Chicago Symphony Orchestras, among many others.
