| Remembering Daniel Moe | |
Contributed by Associate Professor of Music Maribeth Clark  New College Chorus conductor Daniel Moe died on May 24, 2012. He was 85 years old. After announcing his retirement from Key Chorale, Moe accepted an offer to serve as the director of the New College Chorus, which he led from fall 2005 until fall 2010.
During his time directing the New College Chorus, Moe regularly led students in end-of-semester musicales. His programs often featured a guest soloist from the community as part of the choral performance, including pianist and accompanist Virginia Bray, baritone Bret Aarden, flutist Maribeth Clark, trumpeter Dave Baugas, and, on one special occasion, Daniel Mendelow, the principal trumpeter of the Sydney Orchestra who now resides part-time in Sarasota. In this way Moe worked not only to establish a choral tradition, but to enhance the musical community at New College through regular performances. Read More |
