Performing at Historic Kirtland Visitors Center
7800 Kirtland Chardon Rd, Kirtland, OH 44094
On Saturday Aug 2, 2014 DadBand will be performing on the lawn at Historic Kirtland Visitor Center, in Kirtland, OH.
DadBand is a quartet (two cellists, two violists) of musicians who are active performers, teachers and most importantly, dads living and working in the Cleveland area. Their training comes from some of the most prestigious schools in the country including the Eastman School of Music, Clevelend Institute of Music, and the New England Conservatory. Additionally, each member of DadBand has performed in concerts all over the United States and Europe. Currently, they can be heard with the Cleveland Pops Orchestra, BlueWater Chamber Orchestra, No Exit, The Oblivion Project, among other ensembles.
As music educators, the members of DadBand currently serve as private instructors, youth orchestra
directors, chamber music coaches, and school music directors in the Northeast Ohio area.
As fathers, DadBand musicians are joined by loving spouses, and share the unique experiences of fatherhood in common with each other and all other fathers. Between the four fathers of DadBand, there are seven children.
Their repertoire covers all ranges of music, original and arranged, including classical, jazz, pop, rock, folk, latin, and children’s songs. On the program for the Kirtland concert will be the music of the Beatles, Ennio Morricone, Peter Schickele, Astor Piazzolla, Derek Snyder (DadBand cellist), and others. Often the music is inspired in some way by their own children, families, and students. It is performed on violas and cellos, creating a unique and compelling musical experience for the listener . DadBand’s sound, instrumentation, and inspiration set them apart from other groups performing today.
DadBand members are:
Dan Heim, viola
James Rhodes, viola (TMS faculty!)
Derek Snyder, cello (TMS faculty!)
Nick Diodore, cello (TMS faculty!)
The concert will be performed outdoors and last approximately one hour. Children welcome and encouraged to attend. Please bring blankets and lawn chairs for lawn seating.
