Daniel Carr - Composer


If you have any questions or comments (positive or negative!) please contact me at Lesotho72@yahoo.com





I am a part-time composer and full-time consultant (technical/business stuff). My primary music teachers were my mother, Naomi Carr, and Dr. Donald Rankin at the University of Rhode Island. I have been fortunate to have wonderful, skilled performers such as Tina Toglia and Francois Minaux perform my music. I have also attended master classes with Lee Hyla and Christian Wolfe.

I hope you enjoy listening. Please feel free to email me with any comments.
