Composer, Arranger, Producer, Educator

David Dion

After studying composition and arranging with Yusef Lateef, Jeff Holmes, David Smith, and working as Gerry Mulligan's arranging assistant,  Dion became one of New England's most

sought-after arrangers of band, percussion, jazz ensemble, and field music.  His deep understanding of percussion, brass, woodwinds, and string scoring has made him one of today's most versatile writers.
