Bio

Daniel Galbreath is a musician, researcher, and nonprofit professional. He currently serves as Director of Communications for Wyoming Equality, the state's LGBTQ+ advocacy organization. He also works as music educator and performer in Casper, WY. Prior to making his home in the Wyoming nonprofit sector, he was a researcher, conductor, and pedagogue in Birmingham, UK. He has published on the intersections of music performance, physical theatre practice, and Complexity Theory in national (UK) and international journals, and his research has been presented for audiences across the UK, in Norway, and in Australia. He is the founding director of the UK-based professional vocal ensemble Via Nova, which has acted as a hub for vocal embodiment research and which has performed for a range of festivals and live broadcasts. Daniel holds masters degrees in choral conducting and musicology (focusing on postmodernism in choral composition) and a PhD in musicology (performance studies) from Royal Birmingham Conservatoire (UK). He is a proud alumnus of the University of Wyoming Department of Music and Honors Department (before it was a college). In his spare time, he is an inept but recklessly avid gardener, and enjoys making music with friends.
