Ballet Moderne by David Finkelstein

“David’s new album, Ballet Moderne, brings a wonderfully eclectic soundscape to my contemporary ballet classes. His diverse rhythms and textures are a wonderful addition to any teacher’s recorded class repertoire.”

Bradley Shelver, Artistic Director, Joffrey Concert Group

“David Finkelstein offers us an exciting alternative to the usual ballet class accompaniment, therefore expanding not just our repertoire of choices, but rather the whole way of engaging students and design of the combinations.”

Mikhail Ilyin, soloist American Ballet Theater and Miami Ballet, master ballet teacher
