Meet Daniel Perttu
Renowned Composer of the Modern Symphony
Daniel Perttu's second piano concerto, A Planets Odyssey, has been characterized by critic Tom Wachunas as...
A “sensational non-stop trek across millions of miles” that “possesses an uncanny acuity for translating visual and tactile phenomena into palpable realities in themselves, endowing the work with a phantasmagorical dimensionality” (Artwach).
Perttu's recent overture, To Spring, is based on an ode of the same name by poet William Blake. Writing for The Whole Note, Tiina Kiik characterizes To Spring as being “majestic” and “lyrical.” And, in Textura, the authors describe To Spring as “vivid, multi-hued scene painting packed with orchestral detail [that] feels like a blossoming, whether it be of youth or the natural world, and a triumphant one at that.”
Daniel Perttu's music has been performed on four continents and in more than 40 of the United States. His concert opener Phoenix was released on a recording by the London Symphony Orchestra in October, 2022, and his “Spring” overture was recently recorded by the Moravian Philharmonic (Czech Republic). Both recordings are on the GRAMMY-winning Navona Records label, an imprint of PARMA Recordings.
Upcoming performances slated for the 2023-2024 season include the world premieres of pieces with the Grand Junction Symphony (Colorado), Butler County Symphony (Pennsylvania), and Western Piedmont Symphony (North Carolina). Additional performances will include Dan's "Planets Odyssey" Piano Concerto with the Springfield Symphony (Ohio), his “Spring” overture with the Rapides Symphony (Louisiana), Perrysburg Symphony, and Butler Philharmonic, and his concert opener Phoenix with the Eastern Connecticut Symphony.
