Conductor and founder of Ensemble Opera Fuoco.

A native New Yorker, David Stern is a born communicator. Whether conducting a major symphony orchestra, a baroque opera, teaching vocal master classes, or defending cultural activities, Stern rivets his musicians, students and audiences by sharing his strong musical convictions, his flexibility of approach and his belief that music is of essence and relevance in today's world. As music director of the Israel Opera and founder/director of the Paris-based opera studio and period-instrument ensemble, Opera Fuoco, he not only is a performer but a musical figure head in each of these communities.
