About Our Producer
David Schulman is creator of the Musicians in their own Words series; he’s produced scores of sound-rich features airing nationally on NPR. While senior producer of BBC Americana, he once produced a segment that pitted a seasoned BBC presenter against a monosyllabic 10-year-old in a game of radio chess (the 10-year-old won).
As a composer, David has created original scores for performances by Oregon Ballet Theater and theme music for NPR’s “The Big Listen.” David has won two national CPB grants and the Best Documentary: Silver Award from the Third Coast International Audio Festival. A recent piece for Australia’s ABC RN — “Playing the Casals Cello” — is nominated for the 2017 Prix Italia.
