David Zinman

David Zinman (born July 9, 1936, in Brooklyn, New York) is an American conductor and violinist.

He also toured widely and began to implement ideas from the historically-informed-performance movement in interpretations of the Beethoven symphonies.

His innovative programming with that orchestra included a series of late-night concerts, "Tonhalle Late", which combined classical music and a nightclub setting.

[11] Zinman conducted the soundtrack of the 1993 film of the New York City Ballet production of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker.

[citation needed] Zinman's 1992 recording of Henryk Górecki’s Symphony no.3 with Dawn Upshaw and the London Sinfonietta was an international bestseller.
