DANIEL OVERLY

Biography

Daniel Overly has built an exceptionally versatile career as a pianist, chamber musician, and vocal coach, making him a sought-after artist in prominent musical circles. He is currently serving as a rehearsal pianist for The Cleveland Orchestra, collaborating closely with The Cleveland Orchestra Choruses, conductors, and guest artists. He also performs regularly as a chamber musician across the United States and Europe, working with members of The Cleveland Orchestra, the Philharmonia Orchestra, the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, the Vienna State Opera, and the Vienna Philharmonic, among others.

Daniel Overly hat eine außergewöhnlich vielseitige Karriere als Pianist, Kammermusiker und Korrepetitor aufgebaut, die ihn zu einem gefragten Künstler in führenden musikalischen Kreisen gemacht hat. Derzeit ist er als Korrepetitor für das Cleveland Orchestra tätig, wo er eng mit den Chören, Dirigenten und Gastkünstlern des Orchesters zusammenarbeitet. Zudem tritt er regelmäßig als Kammermusiker in den USA und Europa auf, wo er mit Mitgliedern des Cleveland Orchestra, des Philharmonia Orchestra, des Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, der Wiener Staatsoper und der Wiener Philharmoniker zusammenarbeitet.

Als Korrepetitor unterstützte Overly Franz Welser-Möst bei der Einstudierung eines breiten Spektrums an Opern und Oratorien, darunter Bachs Johannes-Passion, Mozarts Requiem und Die Zauberflöte, Puccinis La Fanciulla del West, Schuberts Messe in Es-Dur, Strawinskys Threni, Wagners Der Ring des Nibelungen sowie Verdis Otello und Requiem. Darüber hinaus arbeitete er mit so namhaften Dirigenten wie Daniel Harding, Bernard Labadie, Klaus Mäkelä und Osmo Vänskä zusammen. Auch in der Welt der zeitgenössischen Musik ist er zu Hause: Er assistierte John Adams bei El Niño sowie George Benjamin bei Dream of the Song und führte Eric Whitacres The Sacred Veil unter der Leitung des Komponisten auf. Zudem ist er regelmäßig in der Tastengruppe des Cleveland Orchestra tätig, wo er Klavier, Celesta und Synthesizer spielt, und wirkte als Pianist an deren jüngster Aufnahme von Bartóks Der wunderbare Mandarin mit.

Overly trat sowohl beim Aspen Music Festival and School als auch beim Ravinia Festival auf und war dreimaliger Stipendiat des Tanglewood Music Center, wo er an zahlreichen Aufführungen von Liedern, Kammermusik und zeitgenössischen Werken teilnahm. Er ist Absolvent des Britten-Pears Young Artist Program, des Franz-Schubert-Instituts und des Fall Island Vocal Arts Seminar. Als Fulbright-Stipendiat studierte Overly an der Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien sowie am Cleveland Institute of Music und der Bob Jones University.

Overly ist leidenschaftlicher Pädagoge und war Mitglied der Fakultät für Korrepetition und Liedgestaltung am Cleveland Institute of Music sowie an der Jacobs School of Music der Indiana University. Zudem wirkte er als Stipendiat für Klavierbegleitung an der Yale School of Music.

As rehearsal pianist, Overly has assisted Franz Welser-Möst in preparing a wide range of operas and oratorios, including Bach’s St. John Passion, Mozart’s Requiem and The Magic Flute, Puccini’s La Fanciulla del West, Schubert’s Mass in E-flat, Stravinsky’s Threni, Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen, and Verdi’s Otello and Requiem. Additionally, he has collaborated with such distinguished conductors as Daniel Harding, Bernard Labadie, Klaus Mäkelä, and Osmo Vänskä. He is also at home in the world of contemporary music, having assisted John Adams with El Niño, George Benjamin with Dream of the Song, and performed Eric Whitacre’s The Sacred Veil with the composer conducting. Overly is a regular substitute in the keyboard section of The Cleveland Orchestra, where he plays piano, celesta, and synthesizer and was a pianist on their recent recording of Bartók's Miraculous Mandarin.

 

Overly has performed at both the Aspen Music Festival and School and the Ravinia Festival, and he was a three-time fellow of the Tanglewood Music Center, where he participated in numerous performances of songs, chamber music, and contemporary works. He is a graduate of the Britten-Pears Young Artist Program, the Franz-Schubert-Institut, and the Fall Island Vocal Arts Seminar. Overly was the recipient of a Fulbright Grant and studied at the Musik und Kunstprivatuniversität der Stadt Wien and the Cleveland Institute of Music.

 

A passionate educator, Overly has served on the collaborative piano and vocal coaching faculties of the Cleveland Institute of Music and the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music and was Collaborative Piano Fellow at the Yale School of Music.
