Daniel Gledhill

Daniel Gledhill began studying the piano at the age of 5 with Dr. Irene-Peery Fox in Provo, Utah. Since then, he has become an accomplished pianist, winning 1st prizes on both national and international stages. At the age of 11, Daniel began to supplement his regular piano lessons with chamber music instruction from accomplished teachers such as cellist Roger Drinkall and Igor and Vesna Gruppman from the Rotterdam Conservatory of Music. These teachers helped him to develop a very deep love for collaboration and from there, he began to work constantly with a string trio that he formed, which performed consistently until he began his college education.

Daniel has worked as a nearly full-time collaborative pianist since the age of 16 and has studied at institutions such as the Idlewild Arts Academy and Yellow Barn in Vermont. His college career began at Brigham Young University where he received his Bachelor’s Degree in Piano Performance. Immediately following that, he was accepted to USC where he pursued music with an emphasis in composition, receiving instruction on how to create music; something which has greatly increased his musical sensibilities. Daniel currently works as a Staff Accompanist for the University of California, Los Angeles, the American Musical and Dramatic Academy and also freelances as an accompanist and composer in Los Angeles.
