“David Srebnik is one of the most highly qualified professionals I have ever worked with. He is the complete package. The ease with which he speaks with people and his complete preparation allows him to effectively present artists to the world. Indeed, he probably has one of the best track records of this because of his years at Sirius...his enthusiasm draws people in. He is funny, witty, and has been working in the music world long enough to have serious connections. Any artist, composer, or ensemble is going to benefit greatly by having him on their side.”

“It was my pleasure to work with David on a few important projects. He helped me solidify my thoughts and prepare me for the tasks at hand many times. His thoughtfulness allowed the ideas to rise to the surface with clarity and purpose.”

“David Srebnik has an enormous understanding of the classical music world. His exquisite values and well-known dedication set him apart from all others in both the world of music broadcast and the important task of preserving taste and style in the cultural domain we all share.”

“I have worked with David a number of times and feel he has a wonderfully warm personality that makes artists feel special and unique.

Being a radio announcer and personality, one has to be very flexible with constantly changing information and make guests feel welcome and comfortable. I have always felt this with David - he is a comfort to both artist and audience.”

“David Srebnik is, and has been, one of the leading advocates for African American composers and performers in our country.

He has a keen insight that allows him to easily keep his finger on the pulse of modern American music, its movements and evolution. His musical intuition and eye for detail are both golden and rare. I have come to fondly appreciate his ability to build and maintain relationships.”

Working with David is an effortless, wonderful experience and both executives and artists within Universal Music Classics and our industry in general hold him in the highest regard.”

“I have known David Srebnik for many years and he is without doubt one of the most knowledgeable, intelligent, and seasoned music industry professionals that I have the privilege of calling a friend. His long-term position at SIRIUS-XM Symphony Hall placed him in close contact with countless prominent artists, managers, and publicists; as a result, his insights are vast and uniquely detailed on the inner workings of our business. The concept that “all art is personal” is such a wonderful outgrowth of his experience and dynamic personality. I can think of no one more qualified to help artists understand themselves and how they want to make a difference in the world. We find ourselves at a unique juncture in the industry at present. David is the perfect resource for finding the way forward.”

“I had the great pleasure to do several interviews with David and each time, it has been a memorable moment. My first surprise was how fast the interview went by. Time flies when you’re having fun, and that’s how I felt. I had the impression to talk to a friend, a very knowledgeable friend; but there was no feeling of “doing an interview” if that makes sense. One quality I really enjoy in David is his ability through very smart questions to bring you where you had no idea you will end up. His accuracy and sensitivity are unique. How wonderful for an artist to have someone in front of them extremely competent and understanding them both as musician/performer and human being. Working with David has always been a spontaneous and fulfilling experience, and I’m always looking forward to the next time.”

“The first time I was interviewed by David, I was struck by how comfortable I immediately felt. I had to put away the thoughts I had prepared prior the interview and enjoy what suddenly became a conversation between two old friends. David has the rare ability to see above and beyond any subject or person he crosses paths with. It is his Socratic style of questions that triggers and opens fundamental insight into the subject from his guests.

2017 marked a very special anniversary - the centennial of my late violin teacher Dorothy DeLay. I was thrilled that David agreed to host it for me, and what a wonderful host he was! He kept the event light, fast paced, intelligent and witty.

The Dorothy DeLay Centennial Celebration at Le Poisson Rouge in New York sold out, and was a big success and the audience and its participants. The Dorothy DeLay family members in attendance were all delighted.”

“David is a knowledgeable genie, who has helped many performers and composers within the Classical world to unleash their full potential. He asks really good questions in an effort to really get to know every artist he works with before developing a course of action. The connections he establishes are very much real, genuine, and stand better chances of succeeding, as can be attested by his impeccable track record.”

“Besides being a consummate broadcaster, David Srebnik is passionate, positive, and indefatigable about advancing the cause of artistry among living musicians and composers. When the world says no, David says yes!”

“David Srebnik in the past few years has developed a fresh new way of presenting artists in their best light.

“David Srebnik is a bridge to all that is good bringing people and music together. Through his creativity he has identified how to curate a lifelong journey for others as opposed to a short-lived experience for some.

His undeniable generosity of spirit and heart lies at the core of everything he does and is vital in his ability to be the most remarkable ambassador and advocate for the artists that he works with. David’s vision and rich history sharing his favorite classical music with audiences for decades makes him unique in his ability to identify and champion artists creating pioneering and innovating works that originate in the classical canon, but often stretch beyond, and who are passionate about engaging directly with audiences thirsty for exhilarating and moving experiences. Getting to work with someone who is guided by the pursuit of connecting musical excellence, who unequivocally fights for those he believes in is a privilege.”

“David Srebnik is a master broadcaster, producer and an outstanding interviewer who has shared his excellence with younger broadcasters and producers around the country.”

“It has been an enormous pleasure to work under the artistic guidance and inspiration of David Srebnik. I feel that my professional life changed since we started working together. I learned to see my life from a different perspective. I learned that writing my biography was not about the collection of things and achievements I’ve done, but about a description of whom I am, how my music sounds like, what do I wish to do and why would people care about me and my work. This is a very different way to see yourself as an artist and an excellent way for personal and artistic growth.

I have even been able to guide another younger artist, based in this new artistic approach. That’s the best way to know when you have truly learned something from your mentor, and let me say that this is a very rejoicing and rewarding sensation to be able to do so.”

“David’s guidance and expertise has been extremely valuable to our ensemble. Thoughtful, knowledgeable, and supportive, he has encouraged us to present ourselves in a meaningful and personal way in order to more clearly reflect our artistic identity. His passion for the arts, coupled with his vast experience in the field, makes him a valuable resource for any artist looking to connect more effectively and meaningfully with their audiences.”

“We met David at a time when our ensemble lacked direction. His to-the-point feedback based on a wealth of industry knowledge led us to a clearer mission and an online presence that actually shows who we are, all with a few laughs along the way. Any artist feeling “stuck” should make David their first call.”

“David Srebnik is a wonderful asset to both the radio and classical music fields ... He is very knowledgeable, and knows how to craft an interview.”

“Working with David is always a pleasure; he makes each and every artist of mine feel at ease, like they are talking to a friend. He always does remarkable research in advance of his interviews and lets the artist have as much time as they need to prepare. He’s kind, smart and one of the very best out there.”

“When you work with David, get ready to realize potential that you didn’t know you had. With his extraordinary eye for detail, you’ll rise to a new level through the smallest tweaks in your career. He becomes more than a colleague, but a friend who understands your motives and goals. Most of all, his heart is in the right place, his ultimate goal always being to bring the magic of music to the world. David is the man for the job when it comes to helping classical musicians channel their gift straight to people’s hearts.”
