Artist Profiles Daniel S. Lee, Baroque violin
Jeffrey Grossman, harpsichord
Period violinist Daniel S. Lee enjoys a varied career as a soloist, leader, chamber musician, and teacher. Praised for his “ravishing vehemence” and “soulful performance” (The New York Times), he has performed as a soloist and concertmaster with the Early Music New York, New York Baroque Incorporated, Quodlibet Ensemble, San Francisco Bach Choir, Trinity Baroque Orchestra, and Yale Schola Cantorum. He founded and co-directs the Sebastians, a period ensemble lauded for its “well-thought-out articulation and phrasing” (Early Music Review) and “elegant string playing” (Early Music Today). As a violino piccolo specialist, he frequently appears as a soloist in Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 1 and Cantata 140, and has given the modern-day premiere of his own transcription of Johann Pfeiffer’s concerto.
Keyboardist and conductor Jeffrey Grossman specializes in vital, engaging performances of music of the past, through processes that are intensely collaborative and historically informed. As the artistic director of the Sebastians, this season he directs Bach’s St. Matthew Passion and Handel’s Messiah from the organ and harpsichord, both in collaboration with TENET Vocal Artists, and performs Bach’s six sonatas for violin and obbligato harpsichord with Daniel S. Lee. In recent seasons, Grossman has performed with TENET, the Green Mountain Project, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, Quodlibet, the Boston Early Music Festival, and numerous other ensembles across the country. For the past thirteen seasons he has toured portions of the rural United States with artists of the Piatigorsky Foundation, performing outreach concerts to underserved communities, most recently in Wyoming and southeast Alaska.
Lee has been on the violin, viola, and chamber music faculty at Connecticut College and University of Bridgeport, and now teaches at the Yale School of Music.
Grossman can be heard on the Avie, Gothic, Naxos, Albany, Soundspells, Métier, and MSR Classics labels. A native of Detroit, he holds degrees from Harvard College, the Juilliard School, and Carnegie Mellon University; he was recently appointed a faculty member at Yale University.
