He has performed extensively, notably in solo performances across New England with the Stecher and Horowitz Foundation Young Artist Series, and as a soloist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra. He is also an avid chamber musician and has played in over 30 chamber music groups, with notable performances in the Shalin Liu Performance Center and DeBartolo Performing Arts Center.Daniel is passionate about using music as a bridge to foster new connections. During his undergraduate at Harvard, he organized solo benefit concerts on campus in partnership with The Jimmy Fund, curated coffeehouse events for students to share their music as Arts Chair of his House Committee, and ran sound production for shows in the historic Adams House Pool Theatre. For this and more, he was awarded the Timothy Faron Memorial Fund for Music for “significantly contributing to the musical life of the House.” Returning to Adams as an Arts Resident Tutor, he focuses his efforts on helping current student artists continue Adams House’s long tradition of championing the performing arts.In the Emerson/Harris Program, Daniel studies with Mi-Eun Kim. Prior to this, Daniel studied piano performance at New England Conservatory Preparatory School with Jonathan Bass and with Marilyn Roth, and composition with Rodney Lister. As an undergraduate at Harvard, he took lessons with Katherine Chi and Alexander Korsantia.As part of the Harvard/MIT MD-PhD program, Daniel is currently pursuing his PhD at MIT in Medical Engineering and Medical Physics advised by Prof. Sangeeta Bhatia, where his research focuses on developing minimally invasive diagnostics for early detection of cancer and other diseases.About the Emerson/Harris Program for Private StudySupport for private musical study is available for students through the Emerson/Harris Program (E/HP), which offers merit-based financial awards for outstanding achievement on instruments or voice in classical, jazz, or world music. Each academic year, the program awards Scholarships and Fellowships to nearly seventy students who commit to a full year’s study and participate in the musical life of MIT.Auditions for the program are held at the beginning of each academic year. Private teacher selections, made in consultation with the E/HP jury heads, may include instructors from MIT staff and throughout Greater Boston. The Emerson/Harris Program is funded by the late Mr. Cherry L. Emerson, Jr. (SM, 1941), in response to an appeal from AssociateProvost Ellen T. Harris (Class of 1949 Professor Emeritus of Music). The Emerson/Harris Masterclass Series is supported, in part, by the Robert L. Malster (1956) Fund.This project is presented as part of Artfinity, an Institute-sponsored event celebrating creativity and community at MIT. Artfinity is organized by the Office of the Arts.
