About Dan:
Playing a variety of classical pieces, our students and faculty will once again wow you with their musical aptitude! Mixed into this program will be a bit of a twist: an acoustic cello!
Emotionally provocative and layered in symphonic warmth, Dan Kassel's solo cello music brings this classical instrument to new heights. Using an acoustic cello, a Boss RC-50 looping station and minimal effects, Dan bridges the gaps between Klezmer and Irish folk, Indian classical and down-tempo electronic music, levity and suspense. His ability to use technology to loop and layer his instrument into expansive tapestries of sound is impressive, but the element that really stands out is the cello's deep and moving resonance. His work has been featured by WXPN, NJ.com, and other independent blogs, and his piece, "Moonslice," won an Honorable Mention in 2014's International Songwriting Contest. With his third solo album in the works, his sound is more rich and nuanced than ever, and he delights in sharing his soulful compositions with those looking for something fresh and meaningful.
