Daniel Sullivan

Daniel Sullivan, harpsichord, is a graduate of Baldwin-Wallace College Conservatory in Cleveland, Ohio where he was a piano performance major studying with George Cherry. His interest, kindled in college, in the harpsichord led him to complete a Masters degree at Yale University where he studied with Albert Fuller. Subsequently, Dan lived in the Hague and studied harpsichord privately with Gustav Leonhardt. Early in the 80s, Dan moved to the Chicago area to pursue a Master of Management degree at Northwestern University. He quickly fell into the early music scene in Chicago playing with the Chicago Baroque Ensemble, Jubal's Lyre, and Basically Bach amongst other early music groups. Long involved in church music, Dan served at Bethel Presbyterian Church (OPC) in Wheaton, Illinois, and Westminster Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Elgin, Illinois, and at Christ Covenant Presbyterian (OPC) in Crystal Lake, Illinois. Now residing near Madison, Wisconsin, Daniel has become deeply implanted in the Midwest early music scene again playing recently at the Chazen Art Museum, Bach Around the Clock (with members of the Madison Symphony), and at Luther Memorial Church. Dan is harpsichordist with Sonata à Quattro, a Madison-based period instrument ensemble and has performed with Just Bach, the La Crosse Symphony, the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra, and the Wisconsin Baroque Ensemble. Dan is also the owner of Concept Dynamics Ltd located in New Glarus, Wisconsin, a software consultancy working with medical device companies and large research institutions.
