Darol Anger

Darol Anger has been played on NTS shows including Sounds Of The Dawn, with Coming Together first played on 23 March 2024.

Darol Anger (born in 1953 in San Francisco) is an American violinist, composer, producer and educator. In 2010 he was named Associate Professor at the Berklee College of Music.

Anger entered popular music at the age of 21 as a founding member of The David Grisman Quintet. With the jazz-oriented Turtle Island String Quartet that he co-founded in 1985, Anger developed and popularized new techniques for playing contemporary music styles on string instruments. The virtuosic "Chambergrass" groups Darol Anger's Republic Of Strings, Psychograss, and the long-lived Anger-Marshall Duo feature his compositions and arrangements. His Grammy-nomimated folk-jazz group Montreux was the original musical model for the New Adult Contemporary radio format.

Anger has worked with some of the world's great improvising string musicians, among them Stephane Grappelli, Mark O'Connor, David Grisman, Tony Rice, Bela Fleck and Vassar Clements.

Anger' main project is his Republic Of Strings ensemble, with the classical vocal group the Anonymous 4 and chamber music work and recording with pianist Phillip Aaberg and duo work with multi-string virtuoso Mike Marshall. He appears as a guest with a wide array of modern music ensembles from Traditional to Pop.
