Daniel Anastasio is a multi-faceted artist whose “finesse and prodigious talent” is imbued with an intellectual curiosity (Tyran Grillo, ECM reviews). Conducted by Leon Fleisher with the Ithaca College Chamber Orchestra, Mr. Anastasio’s performance of Beethoven’s 3rd Piano Concerto was “the highlight to everyone’s ears, if the full-house standing ovation were any indication” (Grillo).
As chamber music has become a principal element in his musical life, he enjoys collaborations at an international level. He was most recently a guest with the principal winds of the San Antonio Symphony (Olmos Ensemble), and has performed with Musical Bridges around the World, Astral Artists, and at Cornell University’s Mayfest, an international chamber music festival led by Xak Bjerken and Miri Yampolsky. In addition, Mr. Anastasio has collaborated with acclaimed violinist Joseph Lin, flutist Carol Winenc, clarinetist Alan Kay, and percussionist Eduardo Leandro, among others. Read more…
