I am very honored to be a guest soloist this evening at my alma mater, Northwestern University... for quite possibly one of the most difficult and rewarding and vocally acrobatic pieces I think I've ever encountered.

Program starts at approximately
6 pm Central Time
The first piece on the program is about 11 mins long,
and then "Sparrows" is second, and it is about 19 mins long.
There will be a brief intermission, and then the final instrumental piece
on the program is around 30 mins long if you wish to
stay tuned to see Daniel's awesomeness on that piece!!

Be sure to hook the sound on your device up
to some nicer quality speakers,
if you can, for an enhanced experience!

"Think Outside Your Box" means 3 things:

1. Be Selfless - think beyond your own "box". (and for singers, there's more to life than your voice box!) You're capable of helping and healing others.

2. Feel Empowered to bust out of the proverbial
"box" made of societally-induced-parameters.

3. Be Bold. Innovate. Stretch yourself. You can do anything if you set your mind to it.
