Daniel Swayze – Past Concerts

Dr. Daniel Swayze is a pianist living in Austin, Texas. Daniel is the Founder and Executive Director of the critically-acclaimed Beerthoven Concert Series, which has enjoyed continuous growth since its creation in 2014. His playing has been described by the Jacksonville Review as "Enchanting...crisp and impressive."

After an unusually late start on piano studies at the age of 14, not having a formal lesson until 16, Daniel began to secure scholarships from various institutions in his home town of Portland, OR including the Snowman Foundation, the Piano Santa Foundation, and others, providing him with lessons and a piano to use within his home. After just over a year of studies with pianist Barbara Parker he placed in the top five in Oregon's state level high school solo and ensemble competition.
