Daniel Moody

GRAMMY®-nominated countertenor Daniel Moody makes “a profoundly startling impression” (The New York Times) and is praised for his ability to “pierce hearts” and “utterly silence a room” (The Boston Musical Intelligencer).

He has appeared with leading opera houses and orchestras including The Metropolitan Opera, Atlanta Opera, Atlanta Symphony, Boston Early Music Festival on tour in Germany, Cincinnati Opera, Cincinnati Symphony, Les Violons du Roy, Minnesota Orchestra, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, and Vancouver Opera. Noted for his interpretations of Handel, Moody is also known for premiering several contemporary works by composers George Benjamin, Peter Knell, Hannah Lash, Aribert Reimann, Elena Ruehr, and Jorge Sosa.

Moody is featured on Apollo’s Fire’s Grammy nominated recording of Handel’s Israel in Egypt and will soon release his debut solo album of baroque and contemporary works for countertenor and viols, featuring Parthenia Viol Consort.

A passionate teacher, Mr. Moody received his degrees from Peabody Conservatory and Yale School of Music/Institute of Sacred Music. He has given vocal masterclasses at Peabody Conservatory, Augustana University and currently serves on the voice faculty of the University of British Columbia.
