Daniel Moe has had a long and distinguished career on the podium and in the choral classroom. A major educational force in choral conducting and literature, Dr. Moe developed distinguished graduate programs at the University of Iowa before being named Director of Choral Studies at Oberlin College Conservatory of Music. He has since served as visiting professor at Concordia College and Boston University and as Music Director of Key Chorale, the official chorus of the Florida West Coast Symphony.

He has over 40 compositions in print, was a contributor to A Choral Symposium, and is the author of the standard choral conducting text Problems in Conducting. In his half century on the podium, Dr. Moe brought every landmark choral-orchestral work to performance and has conducted in Carnegie Hall, Town Hall, the Kennedy Center, and Lincoln Center.

Dr. Moe’s many accolades include the Canticum Novum award from Wittenburg University, an Honorary Citation from the Bruckner Society of America, the McGowen Memorial Award, a Danforth Foundation fellowship, and two honorary doctorates.

He was once hailed  by New Yorker music critic Andrew Porter as “…that dean of choral conductors.”

He studied at Concordia College, University of Washington, University of Iowa, Kirchenmusicschule and the Aspen School of Music. His composition teachers include Paul J. Christiansen, Norman Lockwood and Darius Milhaud.
