About me
Daniel Chynsky is a composer and guitarist based in New York City. In January 2018, his string quartet was chosen to be performed at the Global Peace and Music Foundation’s PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics Celebration Concert. Active in a wide variety of genres, Daniel has performed his own music in New York City venues such as the The Knitting Factory, Cakeshop, and Shapeshifter Lab as well as at colleges including Columbia University, Wesleyan, Brooklyn College, Bard, Sarah Lawrence, and Ohio State University. He holds an M.Mus. in composition and a B.Mus. in guitar performance both from Brooklyn College. At Brooklyn College, Daniel studied composition with Polina Nazaykinskaya and Dalit Warshaw and classical guitar with Lars Frandsen. He has also studied composition with Conrad Cummings at the Juilliard School, jazz guitar with Anders Nilsson, and oud and Arabic music theory with Zafer Tawil.As a member of the Brooklyn Composers’ Collective, Daniel’s string quartet, Hijaz,was featured on the their first album in collaboration with the Xanthoria String Quartet released on November 17, 2019. In May 2019, Daniel’s piece, Telephone, was performed by guitarists George England and Mateo Vintimilla at the Brooklyn Composers’ Collective’s new guitar music concert held at the Brooklyn Guitar School. In June, an arrangement of this piece for solo guitar was performed by George England at the Greenwich House School of Music’s Faculty Recital series.
For the past eight years, Daniel has been studying the Arabic oud. The maqamaat (melodic modes) and iqaat (rhythms) of Arabic, Middle Eastern, and North African music have strongly influenced his composition along with jazz, baroque music, and other genres. Daniel enjoys many different kinds of music and values the exchange of ideas between musicians and artists of different backgrounds and between different musical forms.
