大卫·斯图亚特现任加拿大渥太华大学音乐系小提琴教授。出生于魁北克的大卫在温哥华师从史帝文·斯塔克，在耶鲁大学师从音乐泰斗卡梅拉·威可斯。在担任多个知名交响乐团指挥后，大卫选择了挪威的贝根爱乐乐团，这次他在挪威留了10年。除了演奏常规的交响乐章，大卫非常热衷于将加拿大和挪威作曲家的作品改变成弦乐作品。除此之外，大卫的提琴声还经常在加拿大最具影响力的电台CBC播出，他演奏的乐曲为作曲家赢得了一项朱诺奖（加拿大葛莱美）。

大卫曾指导过多个艺术院校，包括加拿大皇家音乐学院，多伦多大学，挪威皇家音乐学院等。他还担任加拿大国家青年交响乐团指挥，并且大卫还是挪威现代音乐节的创始人之一。

大卫·斯图亚特所使用的小提琴瓦伦扎诺诞生与1780年，是小提琴制造黄金时期，意大利提琴制造名家瓦伦扎诺的心血之作。瓦伦扎诺提琴世界现存仅为3把，大卫持有的这把瓦伦扎诺是他二十年前以50万美金的天价从一名收藏家手中购得，是当代最有价值的小提琴之一。这把瓦伦扎诺二百年间经过多位大师之手，提琴背后神秘的符号更是为人津津乐道，这把琴也被列入19世纪所出版的《提琴圣典》中。经过二百年的历练和多位大师的使用，提琴所发出的声音浑厚而空灵，听瓦伦扎诺奏响的音符实在是难得的享受。
