About the Book

WINNER of the NYC BIG BOOK COMPETITION in the Autobiography category WINNER - Literary Titan Gold Award - BookFest Silver Award - Readers' Favorite Five-Star Review FINALIST - National Indie Excellence Awards - Indie Book Awards PRAISE FROM KIRKUS REVIEWS: "An intimate, candid look at the highs and lows of one musician's artistic pursuit." "From Cab Driver to Carnegie Hall shows how effort and perseverance can turn dreams into reality...a testament to inspiration and resilience." - Readers' Favorite 5-Star Review Dive into an Inspiring Journey from NYC Streets to the Grand Stages of the World: A Musician's Tale of Grit and Glory One afternoon David Singer was performing at the White House and that evening he was back behind the wheel of a New York City taxi. He shared the stage at Carnegie Hall with legends of classical music, only to find himself weeks later scaling fences and evading guard dogs to sell welding supplies before dawn. Through these vivid extremes, Singer's memoir captures not only the challenges of a life in music but also the resilience and determination required to keep moving forward. His story is rooted in history-his parents' experiences during the Depression and the Holocaust-and shaped by the profound mentorship of Rudolf Jettel, a savior to many Jews and Singer's self-proclaimed "musical father." From teaching young musicians to acclaimed performances at the Marlboro Music Festival and with the Grammy Award-winning Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Singer's journey is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of music, perseverance, and never giving up. From Cab Driver to Carnegie Hall is not only a chronicle of musical achievement-it is an inspiring story of resilience and triumph that will resonate with dreamers, strivers, and music lovers alike.
