David Allen Conway (born 17 February 1950) is a British music historian. Born in London, and educated at Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School, he studied economics and psychology as an undergraduate at King's College, Cambridge^[1] and later obtained a PhD degree under the supervision of John Klier at University College, London,^[2] where he has been since 2008 an Honorary Research Fellow.^[3] He is the brother of the journalist Barbara Conway (1952–1991).

In 2012 his book Jewry in Music was published by Cambridge University Press. It "analyses why and how Jews, virtually absent from western art music until the end of the eighteenth century, came to be represented in all branches of the profession as leading figures – not only as composers and performers, but as publishers, impresarios and critics."^[4] The musicologist Tina Frühauf has commented "This is the first book that surveys the history of Jews in Western music in an analytical and systematic way, focusing particularly on those countries that had well-developed musical centers at the time."^[5] The music historian John Deathridge, on the BBC radio programme Music Matters, has called it "an excellent book about the role of Jews in the emancipation of music from the Church and the court at the end of the eighteenth century."^[6]

Conway is also a contributor to journals including Slavonic and East European Review, The Wagner Journal and Jewish Renaissance.^[7]

In the 1980s, Conway and his Czechoslovak-born wife Nadia were elected councillors of the London Borough of Enfield.^[8] From 1991 to 2016 Conway acted as a Senior Expert for the European Commission in development aid projects in the countries of the former Soviet Union.^[3] He is a founder and director of the music festival Levočské babie leto in Levoča, Slovakia,^[9] and since 2018 Chair of Hampstead Garden Opera.^[10]
