DAVID HANDLER
A native of New Jersey, David Handler is a composer of acoustic and electronic musics. His work has been characterized by its use of familiar, often tonal "relics" within a narrative structure and polytonal language that seek to explore the notions of incongruity and deconstruction.David is a graduate of the Manhattan School of Music where he studied composition with J. Mark Stambaugh and Nils Vigeland, violin and viola with Isaac Malkin and conducting with David Gilbert.
Ever interested in the relevance of classical and avant music within the popular palette, David founded the venue Le Poisson Rouge in 2008 and currently resides in New York City.
