In April of 2024, Daniel stepped in on short notice to make his Cincinnati Symphony subscription debut featuring Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht and Brahm’s Violin Concerto with Agustin Hadelich. Daniel took over this program “seamlessly and intelligently and brought out the best in the orchestras musicians” – Cincinnati Business Courier.

 

In 2020, Daniel created a digital education concert series with the Windsor Symphony that includes 12 hours of interactive music curriculum for schools. This program has been lauded as “an exemplar of impassioned and outstanding pedagogy” (Dr. Ken Montgomery, Dean of the Faculty of Education, University of Windsor) and recognized by the Ontario Provincial Parliament for its successes connecting students with music during the pandemic. This program has now engaged more than 200,000 students across North America.

 

In 2019, Daniel was a prize recipient of both the Smoky Mountain International Conducting Institute and Competition and the Los Angeles International Conducting Competition and has spent time conducting new music ensembles, including the Composing in the Wilderness program as part of the Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival in Fairbanks, Alaska.
