Daniel Schlosberg has been described as an "expert pianist" (Boston
Globe), and his performances have been praised for their "intellect
and passion" (Washington Post). As a collaborative pianist, Tim Smith
of the Baltimore Sun wrote: "Daniel Schlosberg was a model
accompanist, bringing out the remarkable richness of the piano
writing."
In recent seasons, he has given solo and chamber music recitals at a
number of important venues and series, including Bargemusic
(Brooklyn), Austrian Cultural Forum (New York City), Sundays Live (Los
Angeles), Dame Myra Hess Series (Chicago), and at the embassies of
Romania, Israel and Germany in Washington, D.C. He appears frequently
on radio stations KUSC, KMZT, KCSN (all Los Angeles), WFMT (Chicago),
and WICR (Indianapolis).
He is an avid proponent of new music and was a founding member of
Yarn/Wire, the piano and percussion quartet. He has also collaborated
with Third Coast Percussion, the International Contemporary Ensemble,
and pianist Amy Briggs. Another particular interest is song
accompaniment, and he has a duo with the baritone Ryan de Ryke. They
appear this season at the Phillips Collection and at the Embassy of
Austria in Washington, D.C., and on the PianoPlus series in Chicago.
In 2007, Mr. Schlosberg curated and performed in a series of six
concerts nationwide exploring the early chamber music and lieder of
Erich Wolfgang Korngold.
For two years, he served as an accompanist in Shelter Island, NY and
Sarasota, Fl., with the Perlman Music Program, led by violinist Itzhak
Perlman. In the summer of 2000, Mr. Schlosberg held the Leonard
Bernstein Fellowship in Piano at Tanglewood. The same summer, he took
part in a special collaboration with the Paul Taylor Dance Company at
the Jacob's Pillow Festival in performances of solo Debussy. Other
appearances of note include at Weill and Zankel Halls, and with the
Notre Dame Chamber Players.
Mr. Schlosberg grew up in Los Angeles, and studied at the Peabody
Conservatory with Ann Schein and at Stony Brook University with
Gilbert Kalish. He also took supplementary study in song accompaniment
as a full-scholarship student at the Britten Pears Institute
(Aldebugh) and the Franz Schubert Institut (Baden).
He currently is Artist-in-Residence in the Music Department at the
University of Notre Dame.
