Pianist Daniel Glover has performed in over two dozen countries, with over 20 orchestral groups – and has been a longtime member of one of the Tri-Valley’s most prominent musical collectives.
The musician is now slated to perform several solo pieces for the upcoming Valley Concert Chorale benefit event. “Reimagined” will take place Saturday (Feb. 17) at 7:30 pm at the First Presbyterian Church in Livermore.
Glover has been the Valley Concert Chorale’s piano accompanist since 1998. The musician has also appeared as a soloist with Szeged Philharmonic (in Hungary), the Slovak National Symphony Orchestra, and with over 20 local orchestras, VCC said.
“Mr. Glover’s piano concerts are always a popular event. He is an internationally-known concert pianist and has a great following around the world,” VCC board president Bill Leach said.
Aside from performing, Glover has served as a faculty member at New York University, University of the Virgin Islands, University of San Francisco and Notre Dame de Namur University.
“We are so very fortunate to have him as the Chorale’s accompanist for so many years and we enjoy offering the community an opportunity to experience his great talent each year,” Leach added.
With a large international presence, Glover has performed in 42 U.S. states and 27 countries throughout Europe, Asia, the Americas and the Caribbean. He maintains an extensive and prestigious professional music career, both as a performer and educator.
Glover’s “Reimagined” collection includes works initially created in other instrumentations. VCC said the event will be for both entertainment and education, as Glover will discuss each piece.
The program features Glover’s reworked arrangement of “Canzone”, a slow movement by Samuel Barber, “Andante Spianato et Grande Polonaise Brillante” by Chopin, songs from Ukrainian-born Sergei Borkiewicz and Russian-born Sergei Rachmaninoff.
VCC has operated in the Tri-Valley for more than 60 years. The group’s mission is to engage audience members and showcase the “transforming power of music by sharing passion and joy in live performance.”
VCC presents chorale music from all genres, creating a diverse musical repertoire.
Proceeds from the concert event will go toward VCC and its continued musical programs. To get tickets or find more information on VCC, visit www.valleyconcertchorale.org.
