Hear Daniel perform live, as soloist in our Dec. 6, 2010 "Golden Sounds from Hollywood" concert in the Lincoln Theater.

A versatile artist as soloist, chamber/orchestral musician and recording artist, has performed in many of our world's leading concert halls including Carnegie Hall, Sydney Opera House, Vienna Konzerthause, Musikverein and Lincoln Center where he occasionally performs with the New York Philharmonic.

"Daniel brings exceptional talent, experience and musical sensitivity to his position as Concertmaster," says Maestro Marturet. "He is a great asset for the artistic future of our organization."

Mr. Andai's engagement was the culmination of a worldwide search that spanned two performance seasons. His selection underscores the orchestra's focus on building a world-class orchestra for Miami by assembling top international talent from around the globe. According to Maestro Marturet, the 80 members of The Miami Symphony Orchestra represent 22 nationalities and a cross section of the United States, reflecting, as Marturet says, "the cultural richness and international diversity of the City of Miami."

MISO's Concertmaster is a member of the UBS Verbier Orchestra and Chamber Orchestra in Europe. He tours with these orchestras continuously, over five continents, and is also first violinist with the Vols String Quartet. Mr. Andai holds a Master of Music and a Professional Arts Degrees from Manhattan School of Music's prestigious Orchestral Program. He received the Helen F. Whitaker Fund String Initiative Scholarship and the 2007 Raphael Bronstein Award, working primarily with the New York Philharmonic's Lisa Kim and concertmaster Glenn Dicterow as well as with members of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. He also holds a Bachelor of Music Degree Cum Laude from the Lynn University Conservatory of Music in Florida where he was a student of international soloist, Sergiu Schwartz. This fall he will begin pursuing his Doctorate of Music Degree with Naples Philharmonic concertmaster Glenn Basham at the University of Miami Frost School of Music.
