Daniel Pioro is an English violinist and pupil of Maurice Hasson with whom he studied at the Royal Academy of Music, London. A keen soloist and chamber-musician, Daniel actively promotes new music as well as staying true to the virtuoso repertoire that inspired him to begin playing at the age of four. Leading the London Contemporary Orchestra as well as collaborating with the London Sinfonietta has taken Daniel further into the contemporary music world and he continues to perform as both a part of a classical duo – with the violinist Charlotte Bonneton – as well as a soloist, with the LCO and most recently with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Daniel plays on a violin by Christoph Götting.

| 10-Jul-2012 Royal Albert Hall: Elgar Room | London Contemporary Orchestra Soloists at the Royal Albert Hall |
 Contemporary classical music is happening in all manner of unexpected venues in London at the moment, from Peckham car parks to pubs.

Oh, and the music.

But the smart kids were avoiding all that at The Forge in Camden, chilling to the sweet, complicated sounds of Christopher Redgate and his microtonal oboe.

| 3-Mar-2012 The Roundhouse | London Contemporary Orchestra at the Reverb Festival |
 There's classical music, and there's pop. You can throw as many violins into the bridge section as you like, and you can amplify the orchestra all you want as well. It's unfortunate, but a certain divide looks set to stay. However, we were given a glimpse of a better world on Saturday night with the London Contemporary Orchestra, who somehow succeeded in filling the Camden Roundhouse with keen, engaged listeners drinking Becks, for a cutting-edge Reverb Festival concert which included works by arch-modernists Xenakis and Stockhausen.
