About the Artist

Ezechiel Daos currently serves as the Gerre Hancock Intern in Church Music at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church (Atlanta, Georgia) under the mentorship of Mr. Matthew Brown, HonRSCM.

Prior to his appointment at St. Lukes, Ezechiel served as organist at First Presbyterian Church (Denton, TX) under the direction of Dr. Jacob Augsten. In November 2023, in collaboration with First Presbyterian Church and their GriefShare program, Ezechiel gave the North Texas premiere of Eric Whitacre and Tony Silvestri's The Sacred Veil.

An advocate for broadening classical music, particularly in the realm of keyboard and vocal repertoire, Ezechiel seeks to find and perform music by BIPOC and women composers. Of particular interest to Ezechiel is Kundiman, Filipino art songs which were popular in the late 19^th and early 20^th century.

Ezechiel previously served as the Associate Cantor and Paul Bouman Chapel Choir Chair at Lutheran Summer Music Academy and Festival, a four-week residential music academy for 8^th through 12^th grade students. Taking place at Valparaiso University in northwest Indiana, it is at LSM that Ezechiel combines his interests for liturgy and cultivating passion in young musicians.

Ezechiel holds degrees from Central Methodist University (BME: Music Education, BM: Vocal Performance) and the University of North Texas (MM: Organ Performance, harpsichord related field). His major teachers included Jesse Eschbach, Bradley Bennight, Jonelle Loehnig, Melissa Simons, and Susan Quigley-Duggan.

In his free time, he enjoys hiking, baking challah, and supporting local businesses.
