Biography

German-American Cellist Daniel Dorn was born in New York City in 2008 and began playing the cello at the age of three and quickly distinguished himself through his exceptional talent. At ten, he made his orchestral debut as a soloist in Vivaldi’s Cello Concerto in D major (RV 403).

His cello playing has drawn critical attention in features on NDR Kultur, the German television programme DAS!, and in the Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung.

In May 2027, Evidence Classics will release Daniel Dorn’s debut album, an intimate journey through three of Bach’s most beloved Suites for Solo Cello. Recorded, edited, and mixed by Michael Fine, the album will present Suites Nos. 1, 2, and 3, while also offering listeners a rare musical curiosity: Robert Schumann’s accompanied version of the Second Suite, performed with Korean pianist Ji-Hwan Hong.

Daniel Dorn plays a Jacob Stainer cello from 1645.

Discography

"A profound reading of Bach by a seventeen-year-old."

Remy Franck - Pizzicato

"‘Rich in tone,’ ‘personal and profound,’ ‘passionate’—these are the first adjectives that come to mind when listening to this recording."

Remy Franck - Pizzicato

“Each movement is developed as a standalone musical statement, and with his subtle articulation and genuine sensuality, Daniel Dorn captivates the listener’s attention.”
