Member Bio As a student composer, finding a unique and distinct voice is something that many struggle with, myself included. As I work more and more with the exceptionally talented faculty at Berklee, I only feel myself growing. In my personal studies I am writing a symphony, piano concerto, and many smaller works in the attempt of finding my own voice, and melding many of the styles that I am and have been studying throughout my life.

Dr. Andrew Constantine

Work Phone
Member Bio Andrew Constantine serves as Music Director of both the Fort Wayne Philharmonic and the Reading Symphony Orchestra. Having gained a reputation in Europe and the UK as a conductor of great skill, charisma, energy and versatility, Andrew Constantine moved to the US in 2004 to become Assistant Conductor of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. Within his first season there he was promoted to Associate Conductor. In the US he has won great praise for his ability to communicate with audiences and his energetic and compelling advocacy for classical music have gained him many admirers. In May of 2007, following a two year search and a pool of over 280 applicants, he was appointed Music Director of the Reading Symphony Orchestra in Pennsylvania. In July of 2009, after a similar process, he was also appointed Music Director of the Fort Wayne Philharmonic in Indiana. After winning the first Donatella Flick/Accademia Italiana Conducting Competition, Andrew Constantine made his Royal Festival Hall debut with the London Philharmonic. Press reviews were unanimous in their praise: “Definiteness of intention is a great thing, and Constantine’s shaping of the music was never short of it” was the Financial Times’ view, whilst The Independent wrote, “Andrew Constantine showed a capacity RFH audience just what he is made of, ending his big demanding programme with an electrifying performance of Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5.” Described by Classic FM (the UK’s largest radio station) as “a Rising Star of Classical Music” Andrew Constantine has worked regularly with the UK’s leading symphony orchestras including The Philharmonia, Royal Philharmonic and London Symphony Orchestra, and by many others throughout Europe, including the St. Petersburg Philharmonic and the NWD-Philharmonie. He was recently awarded the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Music by the University of Leicester, for this “contribution to music”, and also a prestigious British NESTA Fellowship to further develop his international career.

Daniel Constantineau

Work Phone
Member Bio Daniel Constantineau began learning music at age 12 and has been composing since the age of 16. His first works were created at the Camp musical de Lanaudière and were his gateway to the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal, which he attended from 1975 to 1985. There, he completed master's degrees in writing (Magdeleine Martin, Clermont Pépin, Gaston Arel), analysis (Gilles Tremblay) and conducting (Raffi Arménian), to which he added learning the clarinet, piano, singing (Jeanine Lachance) and acousmatic composition (Micheline Coulombe Saint-Marcoux). From 1985 to 1987, Daniel Constantineau perfected his conducting skills at the OSM and the SMCQ, with Charles Dutoit and Serge Garant. A scholarship recipient from the Ministère des Affaires culturelles du Québec, he participated at the same time in workshops at Tanglewood (Gustav Meier), Domaine Forget (Pierre Dervaux) and the Artsperience Conducting Symposium (Nurhan Arman), in Ontario. In parallel with his studies in conducting, he tackled the composition of stage music — television, radio, theatre, cinema — from which emerged a catalogue of works that stands out for its diversity and originality. In September 1996, he founded the Orchestre philharmonique du Grand Montréal, a high-calibre amateur symphonic group that enjoyed immediate success until its dissolution in June 2001. He then took over the reins of the music profile of the Arts and Letters Program at Collège de Valleyfield, where, from 2000 to 2013, he taught history, theory, analysis, choral singing and computer-assisted music. In 2003, hearing a Beethoven symphony performed by John Eliott Gardiner's Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique prompted him to join the Tafelmusik ensemble in Toronto, where he received expert advice in 2004 and 2006 from Jeanne Lamon, Ivars Taurins and Bruno Weil in conducting baroque and classical orchestras and choirs. He completed this training by attending, in the summer of 2011, the rehearsals and concerts of the Jeune Orchestre Atlantique, an ensemble specializing in the performance of classical and romantic symphonic repertoire on period instruments. There, he met Philippe Herreweghe and Alexander Lonquich, renowned musicians in this field. These various experiences led him to found Galileo (formerly Orchestre symphonique de la Vallée-du-Haut-Saint-Laurent), an ensemble that plays classical, romantic and post-romantic repertoires mainly on period instruments and whose start-up year, in 2010-2011, was crowned with success. Since then, Galileo has produced approximately two to four concerts per year. In this context, the release of a first album on the ATMA label — André Gagnon Baroque — in October 2015, followed by nominations at the 2016 ADISQ Galas, the 2017, 2020 and 2021 Opus Awards and the receipt of an Opus Award in January 2020, are major accomplishments. In addition to his activities as a musician, Daniel Constantineau completed a certificate in journalism at UdeM in 2008, following which he worked as a supernumerary desk reporter for the newspaper Le Devoir , as well as a classical music columnist for the show Le 4 @ 6, on CIBL Radio-Montréal, from 2007 to 2009. The bug for studies and the need to take good care of his many affairs led him to enroll at the École des Hautes études commerciales de Montréal, where he was awarded a Master's degree in cultural business management with distinction in September 2014.
