Author: Daniel Goldstein

Daniel is an independent composer and orchestral arranger. He was part of a Folk/Neo-Classical duo with Violist Sara Umansky, with whom he had released two albums. He writes orchestral arrangements for other artists, and occasionally conducts chamber orchestras playing his original compositions, as well as arrangements of well-known pieces. He is an avid music listener and collector, but when not engaging in any musical activity - he spends his time researching and writing opinion pieces about history, cinema, music and human communication. An unhealthily-impassioned addict to History Channel, Discovery Channel, and basically everything culture.
