Daniel Parkinson: Associate Conductor
A former pupil of Chetham’s School of Music, and music graduate of the University of York, Daniel is currently studying privately with Mark Heron, conducting teacher at the Royal Northern College of Music. Over the last two years, Daniel has had the opportunity to work with many ensembles including the University of York Symphony Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra and Sinfonietta, Airedale Symphony Orchestra, Slaithwaite Philharmonic Orchestra, Chester Philharmonic Orchestra, Chester Chamber Orchestra and the European Medical Students’ Orchestra and Choir. He has been appointed Associate Conductor of the Chester Philharmonic Orchestra for the 2011/2012 season. Daniel was the conductor for ‘A Symphony for Yorkshire.’ This was commissioned by the BBC in the summer of 2010 and received nationwide coverage across television, radio and online. It has since won a Prix de Circum award, three RTS (Royal Television Society) awards and sold in excess of 3,000 copies, raising more than £20,000 for charity.
