Performance

Each one of Daniel’s solo concert programmes is specifically tailor-made, taking into account fully the nature of the promotion, audience expectations and the organ itself. Daniel chooses his programme from a wide repertoire stretching from mediaeval dances to avant garde works. He believes passionately in promoting the organ as a vehicle for quality, mainstream classical repertoire, as well as exploring more alternative repertoire on certain, appropriate occasions.

In November 2008 Daniel travelled to Australia, giving concerts and leading educational and outreach projects in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Read about the tour here >

In 2009 and 2010, Daniel's concert work took him to France and Switzerland. In 2011 tours of Spain (solo), Budapest (choral accompanying), Poland and Germany (concerti) are planned.
