About Daniel
Daniel Pioro is a solo violinist, collaborative artist, and composer. An ardent advocate for new and experimental music, Pioro's interest in finding new ways of listening to and creating sound, as well as developing strong collaborations with composers, artists, choreographers, dancers, and writers, has led to creative relationships ranging from musician Jonny Greenwood to visual artist Janet Cardiff via the dance company Ballet Black.
As concerto soloist he has appeared with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC Philharmonic, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, London Contemporary Orchestra, and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, and he is currently Artistic Partner with Manchester Camerata with whom he is releasing a recording of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons in early 2025. At the heart of Pioro’s practice is a devotion to championing lost voices, the dreams of living composers, and the intention and sonic oddities hidden in old scores, and it is this approach which allows him to feel equally at home in music of the distant past as well as the music of Now.

Britten Violin Concerto
Snape Maltings, SuffolkJun 2024Pioro’s approach to the Britten Violin Concerto was one of magnetic intensity. Music whose soul-searching and questioning betrays all the anguish of its 25-year-old composer – a conscientious objector exiled from Britain and facing the likelihood of war in Europe – carried a fresh authenticity. In his performance, the sense of living-in-the-moment risk-taking was always implicit, Pioro connecting anew with the composer and with his audience.
