Conductor David Whitwell received his education at The University of Michigan (with Distinction) and The Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C. (Ph.D., Musicology; Distinguished Alumni Award, 2000), with post-doctoral work at the Akademie für Musik, Vienna, and the University of Vienna.

Prior to coming to Northridge in 1969, Dr. Whitwell participated in hundreds of concerts throughout the United States and Asia as Associate First Horn in the USAF Band and Orchestra in Washington, D.C., and in recitals throughout South America in cooperation with the United States State Department. After teaching at Temple University and having served as Director of Bands at the University of Montana, he joined the California State University at Northridge faculty, where he developed the CSUN Wind Ensemble into an ensemble of international reputation, with international tours to Europe in 1981 and 1989, and to Japan in 1984. The recordings of the CSUN Wind Ensemble have been broadcast on major radio and television stations throughout the world. Dr. Whitwell has been a guest professor in more than eighty different universities and conservatories throughout the world and has conducted resident ensembles in Austria, Switzerland, Israel, Japan, Wales, England, Germany, The Netherlands, Bolivia, Peru, Korea, Russia, and the United States, among them the Philadelphia Orchestra, Seattle Symphony Orchestra, the Czech Radio Orchestras of Brno and Bratislava, and The National Youth Orchestra of Israel.

His numerous honors include medals presented by professional societies in Germany, The Netherlands, France, Scotland, Portugal, and most recently the Gold Medal of the Austrian Band Association. His publications include one hundred nineteen articles on wind literature, including publications in Music and Letters (London), The London Musical Times, the Mozart Jahrbuch (Salzburg), and thirty-eight books, including a twelve-volume History and Literature of the Wind Band and Wind Ensemble, and an eight-volume series on Aesthetics in Music, in addition to more than three hundred fifty editions of early wind band music.
