Daniel Grabois is associate professor of horn at the Mead Witter School of Music at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he plays with the Wisconsin Brass Quintet, a faculty ensemble-in-residence, and teaches a studio of undergraduate and graduate students.
Other responsibilities include conducting the UW Horn Choir, which Grabois refashions each spring into Twisted Metal, a French horn rock band playing songs arranged by the students in the horn studio. At UW, he serves as curator of the interdisciplinary series SoundWaves, which he founded in 2012. SoundWaves presents thematic lecture/performance programs that bring together speakers from around the university, and has to date involved collaborations with over 35 UW departments.
