Daniel Morrison – Bass Trombone

Daniel Morrison is a Jesus-following bass trombonist, composer, and music educator, with experience in many styles of brass performance, composition, theatrical performance, and music production. After spending most of his childhood in Kenya as a missionary kid, he earned a Bachelor of Music in Composition from Taylor University and his Master of Music in Bass Trombone Performance from the University of Delaware. Daniel has performed with Tim Zimmerman and the King’s Brass, the Adirondack Performing Arts Festival Orchestra, and several regional and community orchestras in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Since 2019, he has worked for the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra OrchKids program, where he is a Low Brass Teaching Artist and Media Coordinator. He enjoys performing around Baltimore with the OrchKids Brass Band, which collectively composes most of its own repertoire, and playing electric bass at St. Moses, his home church in Baltimore.

In 2020, he started releasing his own original music, which stylistically falls somewhere around the bizarre intersection of “classical bass trombonist meets electronic funk rock/brass band/jazz fusion.” Lyrically, his songs vulnerably explore the inner wrestling of following Jesus in a broken world alongside other flawed human beings.

Outside of musical pursuits, Daniel volunteers with Peabody Christian Fellowship at the Peabody Institute in Baltimore, exploring what it means to follow Jesus with the college students there. He and his wife, Mia, live in Southwest Baltimore. To learn more, listen to performances and compositions, or read a very sporadically updated blog, visit www.danielmorrisonmusic.com.
