Daniel The Violinist

Daniel Gilbert is a Minneapolis-based violinist and violist whose musical journey is rooted in passion and a deep love for sharing his God given gift. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Violin and Viola Performance from Millikin University, with graduate studies at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where he refined his craft and artistic voice.

Originally from Evanston, IL, Daniel’s early talent was nurtured by his mother, Linda Gilbert, and shaped by inspiring mentors and programs like the Midwest Young Artists Conservatory. Today, he’s known for bringing heart and elegance to every performance—whether he’s playing for non-profits, high-profile events, or intimate celebrations. His collaborations include organizations such as  Hennepin Arts, KMOJ Radio, Children's Cancer Research Society, MEDA, Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, Science Museum of Minnesota, Make-A-Wish MN Foundation, the Minnesota Vikings, and countless weddings and proposals.

Beyond the stage, Daniel thrives in creating musical experiences that resonate. He curates custom playlists and cultivates spaces where fellow artists can shine. For him, every note is part of a larger story—one that continues to evolve with each performance.
