DAN CROMEENES, alto, hails from sunny southern California where his musical roots began early with piano lessons, violin lessons, and church choirs. A graduate of Biola University with a degree in Piano and Voice, he sang in a wide variety of ensembles, including King's Men, Triumph, Vocal Jazz, Opera Theater, and the William Hall Master Chorale. Always facing the dilemma of balancing piano and vocal interests, Mr. Cromeenes went on to achieve a master's degree in Accompanying at East Carolina University, where he was able to study vocal repertoire and hone his vocal skills in conjunction with his performance on piano. In North Carolina he sang with Capella Antiqua and made his alto solo debut in Purcell's Te Deum Laudamus and Jubilate Deo. Before joining Chanticleer this season, he spent three years at Biola as Staff Accompanist. He loves the outdoors and enjoys hiking and camping whenever possible. When at home he likes to bake gourmet goodies and write hymn arrangements. |
