Philip Daley, percussion

Philip Daley has been with the Department of Music since November 2006 and is now events manager for the department. His most ambitious assignment for his first season was to stage manage the department’s production of Bizet’s Carmen in May 2007. Daley graduated with a bachelor’s in music from UC Davis in 2005. While an undergraduate, he worked behind the scenes at the Mondavi Center and as librarian and general manager for the UCDSO. He played a major role in coordinating UCDSO’s 2003 tour to France for the Berlioz Bicentenary and in transitioning the orchestra to its new home in Jackson Hall.

Immediately after graduation, Daley worked briefly with Orange County’s Pacific Symphony. Daley has also worked with the San Francisco Symphony and the American Bach Soloists, and he has conducted several musicals, including Sondheim’s Into the Woods. He enjoys playing violin with string quartets for events and composing. Currently, he is scoring music for the independent film Nowhere with Wind-Up Turtle Productions in Los Angeles. A native Coloradan, Daley is a strong advocate for sustainable living and thrives in outdoor environments, where he enjoys hiking, stargazing, and sailing.
