We also performed SOLD OUT
concerts in New York's Lincoln Center...
where the New York Times
wrote:
"A
lyrical dialogue unfolded between orchestra and solo
violin, whose melodic lines were expressively performed
here by Daniel Andai."
After POA was featured on Good
Morning America, our tour took us to L.A. where we
played with Grammy Award Winner Gustavo Santaolalla
and Bajofondo
at the L.A. Philharmonic Disney Hall! There, we
performed to another SOLD OUT crowd and brought
down the house!
It was probably one of the most
intense, crazy, exhilarating concerts I have ever
played. The audience, the orchestra and the band
went WILD! Even my fearless conductor and dear friend,
Alo, learned electric guitar licks for the concert -
Surprises happened on all fronts of the hall.

At the Killington Music
Festival...
I had the privilege of teaching,
performing and conducting master classes in beautiful
Killington, Vermont. It was an inspiring place to
meet other creative artists and fellow professors from
around the country. Many represented major
institutions including the New England Conservatory,
Boston Conservatory, Arizona University, Boston
University, University of North Texas and Harvard.
I was highly impressed by the level of many students I
worked with in addition to the insightful questions they
asked in the panel discussions.
Congratulations to all those that
performed in the concerts and master classes!
You can hear Allyson Eldredge
(Music Director), Tae Kim and I on VPR (Vermont Public
Radio) performing Schonfield's Cafe Music.
