“Daniel is a passionate and engaging conductor with a strong vision and musical personality. Danielhas the innate ability to draw enthusiasm out of the musicians he works with as he is a borncommunicator. Every project with Daniel is a great joy’

Laure Chan, violinist

“Daniel Hogan is without doubt one of the finest conductors of his generation. His performances of my 3rd and 4th symphonies were exemplary, clearly revealing a musician of real stature, depth of knowledge, insight and understanding. But of equal importance are the levels of respect and affection which he commands from orchestral musicians of all ages, remarkable and, I feel, almost unprecedented for a conductor still in his twenties. This is because players sense that they are working with a musician of sincerity, integrity and a maturity well beyond his years”

Matthew Taylor, Composer

“Mr. Hogan drew some really soul-stirring sounds from the players… and his energetic style of conducting was clearly much appreciated by the orchestra. No one has replaced the late Richard Hickox as a champion of British music but on this showing, perhaps in a few years, Mr. Hogan may take his place.”

British Music Society, (Paul Jackson) 2021
