ReviewsAnshel Brusilow, Musical Director and Conductor, Richardson Symphony Orchestra. "It is not often that I have the opportunity to recommend such an outstanding young cellist. I have had the pleasure of working with Dan Burrowes. He served as Assistant Principal Cellist in my orchestra, the Richardson Symphony for two seasons. This term was while he was in Dallas, Texas working on his degree at Southern Methodist University. "His playing and leadership was marvelous and I will sorely miss him. He is a fine young man who would be a great asset to any orchestra, large or small. He is a quick learner and a suberb sight reader. I can only see the best of success in a musical career for this young man." The discography button is inactive.

Biography
Daniel began playing the cello at the age of 5 at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. During his time at St Olave's Grammar School, Orpington, he sang in the choir of the Queen's Chapel of the Savoy, while continuing his instrumental studies at the Kent Music Academy in Maidstone, the county's specialist music school, where his father was Head of Strings.
He was a member of the Kent County Youth Orchestra from 2001-2007. This youth orchestra is widely regarded as being one of the finest in England, and Daniel was Principal Cello in his last 2 years.
Since July 2007, he has been a regular deputy in the London production of The Phantom of the Opera, and has also worked with orchestras such as the Windsor and Eton Choral Orchestra, the Chelmsford Sinfonietta and the Worthing Philharmonic Orchestra.
In June 2007, he graduated with a 2:1 degree in Music at Leeds University, which included a first in his final cello performance. During his 3 years at Leeds, his cello teachers were Anna Shuttleworth and Sue Lowe.
Whilst at Leeds, he played the Saint-Saens Cello Concerto with the Leeds University Chamber Orchestra and he was principal cello for the Leeds University Philharmonia, and co-principal of the Leeds University Union Chamber Orchestra. He also played chamber music with many ensembles including Piano Trios and String Quartets.
Both his parents are professional cellists and Daniel has played on a number of professional dates with his father in the past 3 years. At one of these, they appeared as the soloists in the Vivaldi Double Concerto.
In June 2009 he completed his Masters degree at Trinity College of Music, studying cello with Joely Koos, a regular principal cellist of many of London's finest Chamber Orchestras.
Daniel recently completed an Artist Certificate at Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas. He was a major scholarship holder and studied with Andres Diaz, former winner of the Naumberg Cello Competition and world renowned soloist. As well as studying with Mr Diaz, he had weekly lessons on orchestral repertoire and techniques with Christopher Adkins, principal cello of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. At SMU, he performed as Principal Cellist with the Meadows Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Dr Paul Phillips and also as Sub-Principal Cellist of the Richardson Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Anshel Brusilow, a former concertmaster of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra. He has also played with orchestras such as the San Angelo Symphony Orchestra and the Dallas Live Orchestra. In addition to his orchestral playing, Daniel was also a member of the Dallas Camerata Piano Trio, with whom he performed works such as Shostakovich's Piano Trio No 2 and Mendelssohn's 1st Piano Trio.
