Daniel Stipe's combination of abilities as solo recitalist and collaborator on both the piano and the organ lends a rare excitement and emotional depth to his performances. In 2006 he was featured in recital on the Rising Stars series at the National Convention of the American Guild of Organists. His original organ transcription of Richard Strauss' Four Last Songs, which he premiered with soprano Lindsey McKee, was received with great enthusiasm at the 2007 Texoma regional convention of the National Association of Teachers of Singing. Since then he has completed a number of transcriptions for the organ, including Elgar's Enigma Variations, Ravel's Mother Goose Suite, and Brahms' Fourth Symphony. As a soloist and collaborator, he maintains an active concert schedule, with recent performances in Nashville, Chattanooga, Knoxville, New Orleans, Princeton, New York City, Dallas, Huntsville, Worcester (MA), Denver, and Atlanta.

Daniel, a native of Tulsa, finished bachelor's degrees in piano and organ performance with honors at the University of North Texas in 2006. He studied organ with Casey Cantwell and Jess Eschbach, and piano with Elwyn Ratliff and Adam Wodnicki. He is a prizewinner in the William Hall Pipe Organ Competition in San Antonio, the Tulsa Crescendo Music Awards, the Fort Wayne National Organ Playing Competition, and the AGO/Quimby Region VII Competition for Young Organists. Daniel is currently pursuing a master's degree in organ performance with Ken Cowan at Westminster Choir College, while serving as assistant to Tom Whittemore at Trinity Parish in Princeton, NJ.
