A move to Oxford to complete his Master’s Degree in Chemistry, and then a PhD in Organic Chemistry, did nothing to dampen his love of the classical arts, attending many of the concerts at the Sheldonian Theatre given by the Oxford University Orchestra. His later career, that took him across Europe before settling in Norfolk, was always accompanied by music, gravitating from piano to guitar and finally to orchestral composition. After a period of serious illness, David started ballet dancing with Karen Sant at the KNT Danceworks company at the Northern Ballet School in Manchester, where he quickly became a regular. Truly bitten by the ballet bug, David began to go and see every ballet performance he could, enjoying the great classics from Giselle to the Nutcracker, as well as myriad modern ballets and reconstructed versions of the classics. Last year he quit his job and made the decision to enrol in veterinary school in Hungary, a lifelong dream. He now lives in an apartment in Budapest, accompanied of course by his piano.ver menos
