簡介
大衛·斯圖亞特現任加拿大渥太華大學音樂系小提琴教授。出生於魁北克的大衛在溫哥華師從史帝文·斯塔克。
人物生平
在耶魯大學師從音樂泰斗卡梅拉·威可斯。在擔任多個知名交響樂團指揮後，大衛選擇了挪威的貝根愛樂樂團，這次他在挪威留了10年。除了演奏常規的交響樂章，大衛非常熱衷於將加拿大和挪威作曲家的作品改變成弦樂作品。除此之外，大衛的提琴聲還經常在加拿大最具影響力的電台CBC播出，他演奏的樂曲為作曲家贏得了一項朱諾獎（加拿大葛萊美）。
大衛曾指導過多個藝術院校，包括加拿大皇家音樂學院，多倫多大學，挪威皇家音樂學院等。他還擔任加拿大國家青年交響樂團指揮，並且大衛還是挪威現代音樂節的創始人之一。
大衛·斯圖亞特所使用的小提琴瓦倫扎諾誕生與1780年，是小提琴製造黃金時期，義大利提琴製造名家瓦倫扎諾的心血之作。瓦倫扎諾提琴世界現存僅為3把，大衛持有的這把瓦倫扎諾是他二十年前以50萬美金的天價從一名收藏家手中購得，是當代最有價值的小提琴之一。這把瓦倫扎諾二百年間經過多位大師之手，提琴背後神秘的符號更是為人津津樂道，這把琴也被列入19世紀所出版的《提琴聖典》中。經過二百年的歷練和多位大師的使用，提琴所發出的聲音渾厚而空靈，聽瓦倫扎諾奏響的音符實在是難得的享受。
