Daniel Volovets
Classical, Flamenco, Brazilian, and Jazz Guitarist
Short Biography
Daniel Volovets is a guitarist, composer, and arranger with over 14 years of professional
experience. He performs regularly throughout the Twin Cities at a variety of venues, including
events organized by the Minnesota Guitar Society and the St. Paul Public Library. Daniel is
majoring in neuroscience at the University of St. Thomas and aspires to balance careers in
medicine and music. He has recorded four albums: Watercolors of the World (2008), Silhouette
(2009), Rite of Passage (2011), and Rainy Highway (2014). Daniel plays a Stephen Kakos 2011
flamenco guitar, a Stephen Kakos 1988 classical guitar, and an Epiphone ES-175 jazz guitar.
Performance/Repertoire
Daniel specializes in classical, flamenco, Latin American, jazz, and Russian music, as well as
original compositions. When performing solo, Daniel strives to deliver the most technicallypolished and expressive playing, adjusting his choice of repertoire to cater to the audience or to
create a particular atmosphere. When performing with his multi-instrumentalist brother, Adrian
Volovets (flute, violin, tenor/soprano saxophones, piano, pipe organ, melodica), their duet
demonstrates the unique interplay that is possible between these instruments and the guitar.
Daniel and Adrian’s collective repertoire exceeds 10 hours of music.
Daniel is available to perform either as a soloist or as a duet with Adrian. Engagements include
but are not limited to public concerts, corporate events, restaurant performances, weddings,
theater productions, private parties, compositional commissions, workshops, and studio
sessions. Daniel also takes requests and can learn specific repertoire (with sufficient notice),
such as music for a wedding or a specially-requested concert program.
Please contact Daniel for booking information and a complete repertoire list.
Teaching
Daniel teaches students of all ages and skill levels, having worked with children and adults
alike. Lessons are typically one hour in length and are tailored to the student’s skill level and
particular musical interests, which can range from learning a specific technique or composition
to multi-year, all-around musical and artistic development. Typically, the first lesson begins with
an assessment of the student’s existing technique and musical knowledge (if any), as well as
the establishment of concrete goals so that the student always has something to work toward.
Daniel has had the privilege of studying with several outstanding guitarists – notably, Anatoly
Shapiro (classical guitar), Tony Hauser (classical, flamenco, Brazilian, and jazz guitar), and “El
Payo” Humberto Wilkes (traditional flamenco guitar) – and relishes the opportunity to pass on
what he has learned from these masters.
