Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR)

Having carved a reputation for himself as an innovative composer, performer, violinist, and band leader, Haitian-American artist Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR) melds his classical music roots with his own cultural references and vibrant musical imagination. His latest orchestral work and second Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) commission Darwins Meditation for The People of Lincoln is a musical setting of a pocket play by Daniel Beaty that explores an imagined conversation between Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln. Following its New York premiere at BAMs 2008 Next Wave Festival, Darwins Meditation for the People of Lincoln moves to the University of Connecticut February 12, 2009 - the icons shared bicentennial anniversary of their birth.

Recent DBR performances and commissions include: Five Chairs and One Table, a commissioned work for Imani Winds; WE MARCH!, a guitar concerto for Eliot Fisk and the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra; The Tuscaloosa Meditations commissioned by the University of Alabama composed in honor of Vivian Malone Jones; Voodoo Violin Concerto, a virtuosic handling of DBRs Haitian heritage premiered by the Vermont Youth Orchestra; Double Quartet: The Kompa Variations, an exploration of Haitian kompa music for the Providence String Quartet and a student quartet; and newly commissioned works for the Florida Youth Orchestra, Ahn Trio and Claremont Trio. DBR has also composed music for the theater and film including Daniel Beatys play Resurrection, the ESPN television segment E:60 Homeless Basketball, and two soon-to-be released documentary films - Off and Running and Strange Things. Other projects include a worldwide tour performing works off of his debut international solo album etudes4violin&electronix (Thirsty Ear Recordings), and ongoing collaborations with the Orchestra of St. Lukes, Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, Philip Glass, Ryuichi Sakamoto, DJ Spooky, and DJ Scientific. Touring since 2004, his electrifying ensemble DBR & THE MISSION made its international debut at Australias 2008 Adelaide Festival. http://www.dbrmusic.com

I just wanted to let you know that I think your musical vision is amazing. I am a huge fan of Blair's music program and I think that your story and music have strengthened that. Keep playing, and I'll be looking for more!
