Today, the Spotlight shines On David Rodriguez, Executive Vice President and Executive Producer at NJPAC—the New Jersey Performing Arts Center.

David works in his hometown of Newark, New Jersey, and has led a fascinating life in the performing arts. He was a full-time musician on the road with groups ranging from Isaac Hayes to Tito Puente to the Rochester Philharmonic. He studied at Juilliard, the Eastman School of Music, and Mansfield University. He worked at Carnegie Hall, Aaron Davis Hall, AOL Live, and the Apollo Theater. At NJPAC, David creates diverse programs that resonate far beyond the four walls of the venue—into the very heart of the community it serves and the lives of the musicians it works with.

David takes us through his life, career, philosophies, and the important work he and others do at NJPAC.
