>Daniel Kazez began playing the cello at the age of five, under the tutelage 
>of Leonard Feldman, cellist of the Alard String Quartet.  He went on to 
>earn music degrees from the Oberlin Conservatory, the Peabody Institute of 
>the Johns Hopkins University, and a doctorate from the University of 
>Michigan (Ann Arbor), where he was awarded three consecutive Rackham 
>Fellowships.  Kazez has performed recitals in many of the musical capitals 
>of Europe, including Berlin, Salzburg, Brussels, and London.  His Paris and 
>Florence debuts (in 1995) earned him standing ovations; and he recently 
>performed to a standing-room-only audience at Rome's Il Pitigliani.  His 
>first performance in eastern Europe was at the 1995 Prague International 
>Festival of Jewish Culture.  Kazez has also appeared in most of the major 
>metropolitan areas of the United States, including Baltimore, Boston, 
>Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, New York, Pittsburgh, 
>and Washington, D.C.  He performed as founding member of the Castalia 
>String Quartet, and is currently a member of the Corinthian Chamber 
>Players.  Kazez's performances and research have been supported by grants 
>from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Lilly Foundation, the Wray 
>Foundation, and the Ohio Arts Council.  He is the recipient of the 1996 
>Matthies Award and a 1996-97 University of Chicago/Andrew W. Mellon 
>Foundation Research Fellowship.
>
>   Kazez has been heard by radio and television audiences in Europe, Asia, 
>and North America.  In 1993, his performance of J.S. Bach's first Cello 
>Suite was broadcast on the ABC television program 20/20, to an audience of 
>over 20 million.  According to a recent reviewer, "Kazez brings an 
>outstanding discipline and remarkable musicality to his work.  His sound is 
>pure and strong.  He knows the literature and shows real joy in playing it."
>
>   Kazez is the author of two books (both dealing with the rhythmic aspect 
>of music), a dozen scholarly articles (dealing with music theory and music 
>performance pedagogy), and a dozen editions and arrangements of music 
>(mostly from the English and Italian Baroque).  His book "Rhythm Reading: 
>Elementary Through Advanced Training" (W.W. Norton), now in its second 
>edition, is the most widely used rhythm textbook in the U.S.  As editor and 
>principal contributor, he recently published "Imprints of India:  A Brief 
>Guide to Indian Music, Dance, and the Visual Arts" (Aronoff Center), 
>commissioned by the Cincinnati Arts Association in conjunction with the 
>1996 Cincinnati Performing Arts Festival of India, at which Kazez was 
>keynote speaker.
>
>   Kazez has given talks on his research at twenty-five of the leading U.S. 
>schools of music and conservatories, including the New England 
>Conservatory, the University of Texas, and the Manhattan School of Music.  
>An enduring student of world music, Dr. Kazez recently traveled to India, 
>where he gave a series of 14 lectures/performances, including appearances 
>in Bombay at the Indian Institute of Technology and the Indira Gandhi 
>Institute of Development Research, and at the School of the Krishnamurti 
>Foundation/Madras (for a one-week residency), the Canadian School of 
>India/Bangalore, and at the 1997 Kala Chhaya Festival/Pune ("Hemant Utsav" 
>Festival).  Kazez has also traveled to Java and Bali (to study gamelan 
>music, dance, and shadow puppet theater) and to Turkey and Greece (to study 
>urban folk music).
>
>   In the May 1997, Kazez will present a concert tour of Great Britain, 
>with performances in England, Scotland, and Wales.  In June, he will perform 
>in Israel (Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Beersheba, and other cities).  Concert venues 
>include the U.S. Embassy/American Cultural Center and the Rubin Academy.  
>Kazez is currently Associate Professor of Music at Wittenberg University.
