Tenor Daniel McGrew returns to BASS on Sunday, March 8 at 5PM, Brooklyn Art Song Society for Ned Rorem’s Evidence of Things Not Seen at Roulette. He was last seen at BASS in the 2023–24 season, when he stepped in at the last minute to perform the world premiere of Daniel Felsenfeld’s Visiting San Francisco, and henow returns for this sweeping, evening-length cycle!

Winner of the 2021 Young Concert Artists Auditions, Daniel has presented debut recitals at the Kennedy Center and Merkin Hall and appears regularly with leading chamber music and early music ensembles across the country. Passionately engaged with contemporary repertoire, he has premiered works by composers including John Harbison, Reena Esmail, Tom Cipullo, and Nina Shekhar, and performed at Tanglewood’s Festival of Contemporary Music under the baton of George Benjamin. At the heart of his musical life is song, and he is a frequent collaborator with Brooklyn Art Song Society, New York Festival of Song, and other leading recital presenters.

I've been spending a lot of time singing good words and good music with really good people, my friends.

The poems are by Verlaine tr. C. F. MacIntyre and Joan Vincent Murray.

It's been a whirlwind few weeks of teaching and performances. First there were Bach cantatas with a wonderful team at the Viva Bach Festival in Peterborough, NH; then, in Seattle, Matthew Aucoin and Peter Sellars's overwhelming, brilliant "Music For New Bodies." This weekend, it's another program of cantatas with some of my favorite Bach players in Fort Wayne, IN (featuring our intrepid leader, Koji Otsuki, on violoncello piccolo!)

Next Friday I'll reunite with my Mirror Visions Ensemble colleagues for a recital of vocal chamber music in Ohio.

In the meantime, I have and will continue to teach a group of deeply engaged and engaging young singers at Oberlin, my alma mater.

Many good things: exciting new music, recital programs new and old, Bach, Handel, Rorem, and more!

To begin, a recital with @sophiazhou_piano of cycles by Beethoven, Fauré, Talma, and Schumann at the Port Washington Library this Sunday at 3:00PM!

New songs incoming! Just wrapped up a few intense and exciting days recording at Abeshouse Studios with the spectacular @professorsilas and my wonderful @mirrorvisionsensemble colleagues, @grantwenaus and Scott Murphree.

Midday this coming Tuesday (May 6), @sophiazhou_piano and I will perform a short, FREE recital at Advent Lutheran Church in Manhattan. Good tunes, good chords, good words. We'd love to see you there!

In early January, @youngconcertartists and @88internationalmusic sent me to Morocco with an extraordinary team of American, Tunisian, and Moroccan musicians to take part in establishing student-led music clubs at eight middle and high schools in Marrakesh and Rabat. It was an unforgettable experience—and I cannot wait to witness what all the extraordinary clubs of @morocco88_official create together!
