Dan Barnard is an award winning composer, conductor, and presenter of the arts. His seventeen-year teaching career includes positions at Western Nebraska Community College and Penn State Erie, where he was awarded the Phi Theta Kappa Excellence in Teaching award and Behrend College Center for Service’s Leadership award, respectively.

Barnard’s compositions have won national competitions sponsored by Mt. Union College, Ithaca College, and Northern Arizona University. His most recent project, “Requiem for a Sailor,” received national attention while still in progress by being selected as one of five works to be recorded by the St. Paul-based Vocal Essence choir under the direction of Philip Brunelle.

As director of the “Music at Noon” concert series at Penn State Erie, Barnard developed a national reputation as an arts presenter. He won the 2005 ASCAP/CMA Award for Adventurous Programming, and he was selected to appear as a panelist at national conferences of Chamber Music America and the Association of Performing Arts Presenters.
