David Carpenter’s music has been heard throughout the United States, including venues in California, Florida, Illinois, Oklahoma, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

He has also collaborated with the Momenta Quartet and the Argento Chamber Ensemble. In 2015, his music received its international debut with a performance of his Rhapsody by pianist Katelyn Bouska in Paris.
