Daniel Grabois

Daniel Grabois is a multifaceted musician who primarily shines as a versatile horn player (French horn, trumpet, and other brass instruments) and an inventive composer. He’s deeply involved in New York City’s contemporary music scene, collaborating with ensembles like Bang on a Can All-Stars, and he’s also a respected educator. His compositional work often explores intriguing conceptual themes, as seen in his recent releases like the elemental quartet *Water Names*, *Earth Names*, *Fire Names*, and *Air Names*, which suggest a series of works tied to natural elements. The album *Departures & Deviations* hints at his interest in musical exploration, while *Gravikord* may reference his work with or compositions for the string instrument known as the gravikord. In addition to his own projects, Grabois is known for his role in the eclectic horn quartet The Four Hornsmen and for his long-standing performances in both classical and avant-garde settings.
