Dan Reynolds (seated) has been Director of Music since the fall of 2012.  He was born and raised in Vancouver. Growing up in a musical household, he took an interest in music from a young age. Dan was introduced to jazz by his father, Rick, who often plays bass with Dan on a Sunday morning, and developed a love for playing piano and writing music. After high school, Dan moved to Montreal to study at the Schulich School of music at McGill University. Here he had a chance to study piano, arranging, theory and composition with some of Canada’s finest musicians. Dan played in the McGill Jazz Orchestra and worked alongside guest artists such as Phil Dwyer, John Taylor, Joe Lovano, Ben Monder, Jim McNeely and Tim Ries.  While studying under Jan Jarczyk he began to play and study classical music, especially the music of J.S. Bach, Bartok, Chopin and Debussy. His final composition project was a jazz suite based on Henri Nouwen’s The Return of the Prodigal Son.

At McGill, he was a Schulich Scholar and in 2010 was awarded the Oscar Peterson Prize for Excellence in Jazz Performance by the Hnatyshyn Foundation for the Arts. Dan has performed across Canada, giving concerts at the Montreal International Jazz Festival, the Edmonton Jazz Festival, the National Arts Centre in Ottawa and the Banff Centre for the Arts.

Since graduating from McGill, Dan has been based in Vancouver where he is busy teaching, writing, performing and collaborating with many different artists.
