David Lennon may not be a familiar name to most theatergoers or classical music lovers, but he may be the most powerful man they’ve never heard of. Lennon is the new president of Local 802 of the American Federation of Musicians, succeeding longtime head man (and union legend) William Moriarty. 802 is New York City’s local, and as such, Lennon speaks for the workers of one of the largest professional music scenes in the world. From the Broadway pits to the New York Philharmonic, Local 802 is the final authority in which professional musicians place their trust, and the president of the local has historically been a figure of national prominence in the union.
