Shindaryov, Daniel

Concertmaster and violinist also credited as Daniel Shindarov whose career has spanned more than five decades and comprised an impressive mixture of public appearances and studio work.

He emigrated to the U.S. in 1975 after having worn the hat of concertmaster for the Bolshoi Ballet and Opera Theater Orchestra in Moscow, then went on to perform similar duties with the San Francisco Opera and Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra.

Putting himself square in the action in L.A. opened up opportunities for session work on a string of albums, including Ray Charles’ and Cleo Laine’s Porgy & Bess, Earl Klugh’s eponymous 1976 debut, Mary MacGregor’s In Your Eyes, Sunset Bombers’ Sunshine Bombers, and Frank Sinatra’s Trilogy.

He has also appeared on a number of soundtracks, including Eight Legged FreaksJarheadLemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, and One Night Stand, on which he performed his own arrangement of the first movement of Bach’s “Violin Sonata No. 1”.

His calendar has been dotted with public appearances in the new millennium, in concert with The Lake San Marcos Chamber Music Society, The Las Vegas Youth Camerata Orchestra, The Local 47 Senior Symphony Orchestra, Palisades Symphony, and Temecula’s Inland Valley Symphony.

Appropriately enough, he is one of many artists featured in the book Violin Virtuosos From Paganini to the 21st Century.
