Rebecca McDaniel
Rebecca McDaniel is passionate about sharing music with others and about supporting the creativity of young musicians. Relying on music as a unifying force, Rebecca seeks to share curiosity and joy as a performer, educator, and arts administrator. She is an active chamber percussionist, who works frequently with exploratory performance collaborative Beyond This Point and classical chamber ensemble 5th Wave Collective. As an educator, she is on faculty at the Merit School of Music. She also works as the Development Manager for the Grammy Award-winning quartet Third Coast Percussion, supporting the ensemble’s performance, education, and collaborative programs.
Rebecca attended Furman University (B.A. Music, B.A. Earth and Environmental Sciences) and the University of Missouri-Columbia (M.M., Percussion Performance). When she isn’t playing or supporting performances, she is most likely found hiking, biking, or otherwise outdoors.
