“A towering musical achievement, a hugely complex work packing a whopping political and intellectual punch…sublime and intricate…raw, heartbreaking emotion.”
— Parterre
Composer and sound artist Daniel Thomas Davis’ array of musical activities has taken him from the stages of Carnegie Hall and the Royal Opera House to monasteries in the Horn of Africa to playing electric hurdy gurdy alongside life-size puppets.
Praised as “fun and unpretentious” by The New Yorker, he creates music singled out for its “soul-wrenching” connection to the human voice and its “deft and beautiful, rich harmonic and textural language.” (Classical Voice North America).
