Episode 64: Analyzing the Impact of Music on People's Lives with Award Winning Composer Danny Mitchell
Manage episode 407360390 series 3559713
Born and raised in Wisconsin, Danny moved to Nashville shortly after earning his bachelor’s degree in jazz piano and composition. Since then, he has worked steadily as a freelance musician in and around Nashville, and across the country.
As a composer and arranger, Danny’s work runs the gamut from small chamber pieces to full symphonic works. His “Dawning of a Soul” has been performed by the National Wind Ensemble in New York City’s Carnegie Hall under the direction of H. Robert Reynolds. In 2021, Danny was commissioned by the University of Wisconsin to compose a piece of music that reflected the hardship we experienced during the pandemic of 2020 and beyond. “From the Depths We Rise” received its world premiere by the University of Wisconsin-Madison wind ensemble under the direction of Scott Teeple in April 2022.
