Feb 2010 American Music Center
Interview from New Music Box Spotlight Series.
"Connecticut-born David Bruce has been based in England since he was six weeks old but his extremely independent-minded compositions have a great deal in common with much of the music being created here today and continues to grab attention at many of America's most high-profile venues."





October 08 Carnegie Hall
Interview from Carnegie Hall Artist Interview Series.
"British-American composer David Bruce has a global thought process when it comes to writing music for the concert hall, illustrated by his acclaimed Carnegie Hall commissioned work, Gumboots—based on dancing which originated in the mines of South Africa under the brutal conditions of Apartheid."
