In this inspiring episode of REJUVENAGING  with Dr. Ron Kaiser, world-renowned clarinetist David Singer shares the extraordinary highs and humble beginnings of his life and career. From overcoming an abusive childhood and working odd jobs—including driving a cab in New York City—to performing for President Jimmy Carter at the White House and earning a Grammy with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, David’s story is a powerful testament to perseverance, passion, and purpose.


David reflects on pivotal moments in his life—from his childhood crush that introduced him to the clarinet, to his magical year studying in Vienna, and the struggles of trying to make it in the competitive world of classical music without compromising his individuality. Despite setbacks, he chose an unconventional route, building a celebrated career through unique collaborations and by impacting others through music education.


Listeners will walk away with timeless life lessons: follow your passion, take small daily steps toward your goals, and never give up. David’s book From Cab Driver to Carnegie Hall captures this journey in rich detail, offering humor, history, and hope. This conversation is not just for music lovers, but for anyone striving to live with enthusiasm and make a meaningful impact.
