About the Artist
Daniel McGrew
Tenor Daniel McGrew is a versatile performer of a broad range of repertoires spanning opera, early music, contemporary music, and music theatre. As a winner of the 2021 Young Concert Artist Auditions, Daniel and pianist Sophia Zhou presented debut recitals at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. and Merkin Hall in New York City; McGrew and Zhou have also recently appeared with Buffalo Chamber Music Society, the Broman Concert Series at Mary Baldwin College, and Windsor Music in Boston. Recent concert engagements include performances with Elm City Consort, Bach Collegium Fort Wayne, and Music Worcester, among others.
An early music specialist, Daniel has performed many of J.S. Bach’s major works and over 30 of the church cantatas with conductors including Matthew Halls, John Harbison, David Hill, Koji Otsuki, Kenneth Slowik, and Masaaki Suzuki. He has made multiple appearances with Gamut Bach Ensemble at the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society and the Bach Vespers series at Holy Trinity Lutheran. Additional memorable early music credits include Douce Dame: Woman and the Ars Nova, a program exploring women’s voices in the 14th century through the music of Guillaume de Machaut and Phillipe de Vitry with Elm City Consort; Bach’s B minor Mass at Alice Tully Hall; Bach’s Magnificat on tour throughout India; and the Monteverdi Vespers 1610 and Händel’s Occasional Oratorio in New York and New Haven. He twice attended the Bach Institute at Emmanuel Music in Boston.
The heart of Daniel’s musical passion and practice is the performance of song; he appears regularly with such ensembles as Brooklyn Art Song Society, New York Festival of Song, Mirror Visions Ensemble, and Cincinnati Song Initiative. Recent highlights from the recital stage include two performances of the complete Mörike-Liederbuch of Hugo Wolf with pianist, Martin Katz; the premiere of a new cycle by Tom Cipullo with tenor, Scott Murphree and pianist, Grant Wenaus; Killmayer’s settings of Heinrich Heine with pianist, Sam Martin; Beethoven’s An die ferne Geliebte with pianist, Ignat Solzhenitsyn; and Schumann’s Spanisches Liederspiel with pianist Jonathan Biss. In 2023, he and harpist, Parker Ramsey will tour with a recital of songs for tenor and harp.
Daniel holds degrees from Oberlin Conservatory, Yale University, and University of Michigan. He is a committed teacher and pedagogue, having taught studio voice, lyric dictions, and music history at University of Michigan, Oberlin Conservatory, Bowling Green State University, and Adrian College. He currently maintains a small private studio in Stamford, Connecticut.
