David Bernard has been selected as a 2013 First Prize winner of the Orchestral Conducting competition of The American Prize, a national competition for conductors. In making their selection from a diverse group of conductors from across the United States, the panel of judges described Mr. Bernard as "A first rate conductor. With no score, an animated and present Maestro Bernard led a phenomenal performance of incredibly difficult repertoire --masterly in shaping, phrasing, technique and expressivity. A great pleasure to watch and listen to."

The Park Avenue Chamber Symphony’s performance of Beethoven’s Eighth Symphony was captivating throughout; the clarity of rhythm and the musical conviction of the players were superb in what was a sparkling account. Music Director and Conductor David Bernard made the most of Beethoven’s melodic material by emphasizing the shape of the musical line, and Beethoven’s trademark sforzandos (heavy accents) were punctuated with tremendous vigor. All dynamics were presented with great contrast, but Bernard also brought out the nuanced, Haydnesque elements in the music: the humor, the grace, the lightness of touch in the orchestration, and he emphasized the Viennese dance music that permeates the score.
