David Ross is a historical flutist based in New York City. Since 2009 his training and career have focused exclusively in historical performance ranging from one-keyed baroque flutes to many-keyed flutes and piccolos from the Classical and Romantic periods.

David concertizes regularly with ensembles including the Sebastians, Mercury Chamber Orchestra, Yale Schola Cantorum, New York Baroque Incorporated, Trinity Wall Street, Bach Vespers at Holy Trinity, and Early Music New York. In the year prior to the pandemic he also performed with Opera Lafayette, Teatro Nuovo, and the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra. This season includes concerts with Three Notch’d Road and the Handel & Haydn Society.

David was among the last generation to study baroque flute with Wilbert Hazelzet at the Koninklijk Conservatorium in The Hague, Netherlands where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Early Music. He also received a Master’s degree from the Juilliard School’s Historical Performance Program and a Bachelor’s degree in modern flute performance from the Cleveland Institute of Music. David teaches privately at his home in Roosevelt Island NYC.
