Accademia Daniel

Baroque Ensemble Specializing in 17th-18th Century Music

Accademia Daniel is a baroque ensemble founded in 1998 by the harpsichordist and conductor Shalev Ad-El. The group is named after the biblical figure Daniel and is dedicated to performing works from the 17th and 18th centuries, with a particular focus on lesser-known compositions and composers. They are known for their historically informed performances, which aim to recreate the soundscapes of the baroque era using period instruments and performance practices. The ensemble has gained recognition for its dynamic interpretations and has collaborated with various soloists and choirs to bring both familiar and obscure baroque works to contemporary audiences.
