David Price is a highly experienced public speaker, project manager, strategic adviser and education consultant. After a 15 year stint in the music industry, he began working in education, lecturing in adult, further, and higher education. In 1994 he helped
establish Sir Paul McCartney’s Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, where he was Director of
Learning for 7 years.
Since then, he has led national projects in arts and education in the UK, and advised companies, third-sector organisations and
government departments internationally.
His public speaking work – he specialises in talking about creativity, human capability, the impact of digital technologies and education - has taken him all over the UK and Europe, Australia, New Zealand, USA and China. In 2001 he was made a fellow of the Royal Society for the Arts and received the O.B.E. in 2009, for services to education.

“David
has a unique ability to encourage people to move on and dare open new
doors in their professional lives. When he gazes into the crystal ball,
it is not just an opportunistic game but serious assessment of all the
factors which influence.”
Einar Solbu, CEO Rikskonsertene, Norway
“David Price is one of the great original thinkers in musical affairs”
Richard Letts, Music Council of Australia
