He published Treatise on the Clarinet in 1939 which became a standard text about the instrument. Dunbar became the first black man to conduct the London Philharmonic in 1942 at a concert in the Royal Albert Hall, London. In September 1945 he conducted the Berlin Philharmonic at the invitation of music director Leo Borchard, performing William Grant Still's Afro-American Symphony before Allied servicemen. He also conducted orchestras in Russia and Poland. He championed the music of other black composers, particularly Still. Dunbar had played alongside Still in the Harlem Orchestra around 1924, and the autograph of Still's Festive Overture of 1944 is dedicated "To my dear friend, Rudolph Dunbar".
