David Rothman was born in Toronto, Canada. When he was ten years old he was awarded a piano scholarship, in open competition, to study at the Yehudi Menuhin School, Surrey, England. Members of the jury included Yehudi Menuhin and Nadia Boulanger. Among his teachers at the Menuhin School were Louis Kentner and Vlado Perlemuter. At age seventeen he won a piano scholarship to study at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, where he was a student of Mieczyslaw Horszowski and Seymour Lipkin.
Michael Barnes today plays The Old Church Concert Hall's historic 1883 tracker organ built by the Hook and Hastings company of Boston, Massachusetts for Calvary Presbyterian Church in Portland, Oregon, their Opus No. 1141. It is the only historic tracker pipe organ in the city to still operate and be played regularly--in an unaltered but elegantly restored conditionin it's original location!
Mr. Barnes has been the Senior Organist at Westminster Presbyterian Church since May 2, 1992, and has voluntarily scheduled these free noon Sack Lunch Recitals since the late 1980's.
