Dan Forrest (b. 1978) has been described as “a composer of substance,” whose works have been hailed as “magnificent, very cleverly constructed sound sculpture,” and “superb choral writing…full of spine-tingling moments.” Since his first publication in 2001, Dan’s music has sold more than a million copies. His music is already firmly established in the repertoire of choirs throughout the United States and abroad. Dan’s choral works have received numerous awards and distinctions, including the ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer’s Award, the ACDA Raymond Brock Award, the ALCM Raabe Prize, and many others. His commissioned choral works have been premiered in major venues around the world, ranging from the World Choral Symposium (Argentina) to Izumi Hall (Osaka, Japan) to Carnegie Hall, the Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, and ACDA conventions. Dan is highly active in the choral publishing industry (maintaining a choral series in his name with Hinshaw Music), and has published with more than a dozen publishers.
