Daniel McCarthy (b. 1955, Onekoma, Michigan) is a unique and fresh voice among the myriad of composers vying for attention in the contemporary music scene. His music defies categorization in terms of academic, experimental, traditional or other approaches to concert music except that it is infectiously appealing to listeners and performers alike.
Dr. McCarthy is Chair of the Composition and Theory Section at the University of Akron School of Music where he is founder and Director of the American New Arts Festival in Akron, Ohio. Daniel was previously Theodore Dreiser Distinguished Creative Professor in Composition at Indiana State University where he directed the Contemporary Music Festival with the Louisville Orchestra. He is founder of the Midwest Composers' Forum and has served as President of the Cleveland Composers Guild. During the summer, he is Instructor of Composition at the Interlochen Arts Camp and has served as music director and conductor of the Interlochen Festival Orchestra and The Cleveland Chamber Symphony.
