About the Artist
Daniel Anastasio, Piano Daniel Anastasio is a soloist, chamber musician, and artistic director based in San Antonio, Texas who combines intellectual curiosity with "technical prowess and emotional sensitivity" (San Antonio Report). As director of several organizations including Agarita and the San Antonio Chamber Music Society, his innovative programs have featured collaborations with dancers, writers, museums, photographers, glass-blowers, and more.
As a performer with a diverse skill-set, he has performed Bach's Goldberg Variations on harpsichord one week and premiered a multimedia work by Rome Prize–winning composer Christopher Stark on MIDI keyboard the next. An active proponent of new music, he is co-founder and pianist of Unheard-of Ensemble, a group that creates interdisciplinary works in direct collaboration with emerging artists and composers across the United States, and tours actively.
Daniel was Assistant Professor of Music and Director of Keyboard Studies at San Antonio College for seven years before deciding to devote more time to artistic projects, performances, and live shows that bring the general public closer to the expressive meaning found in classical music. He received his Bachelor of Arts in Music and Philosophy from Cornell University under Xak Bjerken, a Master of Music from Juilliard under Jerome Lowenthal, and a Doctor of Musical Arts from Stony Brook University, where he studied with Gilbert Kalish and Christina Dahl.
