Daniel Stanislawek

I'm a new resident to Sarasota with a BM (NC School of the Arts) and MM (Florida State) in classical guitar performance. I've been doing gigs and more "serious" concertising for over 15 years. I've performed internationally, throughout the U.S., have been heard on national television, national and international radio, and have recorded for Albany Records.

I've done countless gigs over the years and have spent considerable time and energy compiling and arranging repertoire that goes over well at these events. My set usually includes Latin pieces (sambas, tangos, bossa novas), arrangements of jazz standards, Celtic tunes, popular song and film arrangements, familiar baroque, classical and renaissance pieces (mostly for weddings), blues and country "fingerstyle" tunes, novel ethnic music, new age style compositions (nothing too cheesy), holiday music (only in season), as well as standards from the classical guitar literature.

"Stanislawek shows himself to be a player of great delicacy."
The Buffalo News

"guitarist Daniel Stanislawek's sympathetic playing, unifies…through a deeply personal communication and elevates these performances to a highly artistic level." Allmusic review

• Daniel is a consummate professional and added a touch of elegance to our wedding ceremony. He made music selection very easy as he maintains a website of videos and music that he is actually performing. I'm sure he could accommodate any classical guitar piece that you request. Again, it was a pleasure to hear Daniel play. -- Jason M, Sanibel, FL, 12/31/2011
