David Drosinos received his diploma from the Peabody Conservatory of Music. He studied clarinet with Loren Kitt, principal clarinetist with the National Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Drosinos won the Sidney Jensen Memorial Award for outstanding clarinet performance and has been a guest artist at the Greek Embassy in Washington and the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. The Washington Post praised him for "playing with an unusually smooth and agile touch." His rendering of the Finzi concerto prompted this from the Baltimore Sun, "“He played the idyllic score with technical security, tonal warmth and exceptionally eloquent phrasing.”
