David Mecionis is a self-taught composer, arranger, instrumentalist and music copyist whose work has spanned a wide range of genres. He played guitar, bass and drums in a host of New York City rock and avant-garde groups, and performed on various tours in the U.S. and Europe. David's commitment to composition began later in life, moving quickly from Romantic to serialized styles as well as both planned and improvised electronic music. The past few years have seen the world premiere performances of Die Sprechmasken von Hofmannsthal for tenor, violin, English horn, bass clarinet and electric guitar; Elegy for Joey for flute and viola; Filidi/Setera for trumpet solo; and Table Canon for Two Clarinetists, which dedicatees Guido Arbonelli and Natalia Benedetti have continued to perform on tour in Italy and have used in their Master classes. In late 2016, he began composing under the guidance of Raoul Pleskow, a highly-regarded composer of the Wolpe and Wuorinen circles. David serves as Concert Director of the New York Composers Circle, richly enjoying his role as art-music advocate and producer of a yearly series of concerts of new works by a host of member composers.
