Danny Driver's profound understanding of the music he plays reveals to audiences interpretations of striking originality. He's recognized internationally as an artist of great insight and musical depth. His studies at Cambridge University and the Royal College of Music inspired his uniquely holistic approach to performance and have enabled him to cultivate an enviably broad repertoire encompassing works from Bach and Handel to Ligeti and Ades. In 2021, Driver released his latest album of Ligeti's Etudes on the Hyperion label to unanimous high praise, with BBC Music Magazine writing, "The Etudes require even more virtuosity...of a brain-teasing sort, and Danny Driver supplies it all."
A Gramophone Award nominated artist, Driver has performed with orchestras across the globe. His long-standing collaboration with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra continues and has seen performances across the UK, at London's Cadogan Hall and the BBC Proms (where he has performed twice as a soloist). He has worked with conductors Andrew Litton, Martyn Brabbins, Dalia Stasevska, Alexander Shelley, Mario Venzago. Marzena Diakun, Rebecca Miller, Rory Macdonald, and Sir James Macmillan, among others.
