The way to spot Daniel in the wild is through noticing his different colored socks or possibly by hearing his Dolphin like laughter from far away.

As a musician Daniel is extremely attentive to every detail/range of color, he is most likely to spend half a day on analyzing and elaborating about different types of vibratos and sound – then of course adding his own personal touch to it. He also shares the enthusiasm with his quartet companions!

Daniel is a jokey guy with a brilliant comedic timing, he exceeds in every way through his brilliant use of hashtags under his instagram posts – #danielsledzinskiisfunny. Even after 7 years of understanding Daniel’s humor, he is still not capable of enjoying a viola joke – which can be one of many universal violist’s challenges.

Something that sets Daniel apart from many other violists – and is a gift for us in the quartet – is that he goes all in when he has a solo. He doesn’t hold back, neither in dynamics nor in his expressive vibrato when he steps into the spotlight – one of his greatest strengths.

After putting all his energy into his solos, he needs to recharge during breaks. And this is where his special talent comes into play: Daniel can sleep anywhere, anytime. He enjoys a good nap during the day and can still sleep 12 hours at night.

In Daniel’s free time you can probably find him taking pictures with his awesome camera or complimenting his friends by telling them how beautiful they are. He is a caring person who is always attentive to those around him.
