Dan is looking forward to performing in BMV's Family Concert on Feb. 12. “I’ve played with professional musicians only once or twice before, and I’ve loved the opportunity to play with the pros.”

“The Piper’s Tale and The Tortoise and the Hare are both fairly challenging and equally unique. They’re both very fun pieces to play and listen to.”
