Steve Danielson
Dr. Steve Danielson has been composing choral music for over 20 years. He writes mainly for choirs, though there are other pieces in his catalog. His hymn arrangements have been performed across the US as well as in Canada, Mexico, and Kenya. In May 2017, In Turba won the Opus 7 Student Composition Competition at the Graduate Student level.
Steve currently lives in Meridian, ID (right outside Boise) where he moved in 2023. He earned a DMA in Choral Conducting at the University of Washington in Seattle in 2019. Some of his research interests include the choral music of Slovakia, improvisation in the choral classroom, and his dissertation was about the folk song collections of Carrie Grover. He is currently the choir director at Mountain View High School in Meridian. He is the host of this podcast, Moveable Do, where he interviews composers about their lives and works, as well as the ACDA Podcast, the official podcast of the American Choral Directors Association.
He and his wife, Angi, have seven wonderful children. He tries not to take himself too seriously.
