Canadian Music | Conductor | Classical Black No known disability No known religious affiliation Gay / Lesbian Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser is a Canadian orchestral conductor. He is best known for creating and conducting shows designed to introduce orchestral music to groups outside of its traditional audiences, such as by blending classical with contemporary genres and centring on themes targeted to groups who do not typically attend the symphony. He taught music at Calgary's Glenmore Christian Academy for several years before returning to conducting. He has since served as an associate conductor of the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony and the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra, as artist in residence and community outreach coordinator with Symphony Nova Scotia, and as an education conductor and community ambassador for the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, as well as appearing as a guest conductor with orchestras including the San Francisco Symphony, the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra, the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, the National Arts Centre Orchestra, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, the Regina Symphony Orchestra and the Washington National Opera. Disruptor Conductor, a 2019 television documentary film by Sharon Lewis, profiled Bartholomew-Poyser's work on four shows in 2018: a string quartet performance for prisoners at the Grand Valley Institution for Women; a show with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra designed to accommodate the special needs of children with autism; a show with the San Francisco Symphony which connected classical performance with African music by incorporating African drumming performed by Magatte Sow; and "Thorgy and the Thorchestra", a show centred around LGBTQ and drag culture starring drag performer and classical violinist Thorgy Thor. The film was broadcast by CBC Television on September 5, 2019, as an episode of CBC Docs POV. Since 2021, he has been the host of Centre Stage, a weekend classical music program on the CBC Music radio network. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Bartholomew-Poyser (2024) International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 Yes RAHHFulton 8/1/2024 RAHHFulton 8/1/2024 ce554eac-a612-4cd5-8980-1ce3fc5ad8c7
