Daniel Kobialka

Daniel Kobialka (born November 19, 1943 in Lynn, Massachusetts) is an American violinist. Kobialka founded LiSem Enterprises Inc., in 1985 and created Wonder of Sound in 2009.

Inspired by his time performing with major symphonies such as The Boston Symphony, Atlanta Symphony, and the San Francisco Symphony, and a desire to showcase violin music in a way it had not been before, Kobialka's style grew out of his perceived need to explore genres other than classical and continue to bring to light music that is often overlooked. The Company is committed to creating, arranging, producing and recording the finest new-age and classical instrumental music. The LiSem label sets unique standards, as it embraces the therapeutic function that music can bring to people. Kobialka's music is distributed on the LiSem label by Allegro Media Group and is available on his website, www.wonderofsound.com. He is currently on the faculty of the University of the Incarnate Word, San Antonio, Texas.

Kobialka was commissioned to compose a film score for the "Split Horn" documentary Life of a Hmong Shaman in America, and wrote 10 orchestral and solo violin compositions for various instrumental combinations. His recorded solo artist albums include one for the Advance Recordings, and one for the Desto record label of original works dedicated to him by Lou Harrison, Henry Brant, and Glen Glassow, Donald Martino, and Arnold Franchetti. His accomplishments also include his recording of the Mozart Violin and Piano Sonatas and the Ottorino Respighi Violin Sonata on the Sonic Arts Label. He specialized in performing the Music of Mozart and was the Founding Soloist and Concertmaster of the Mid-Summer Mozart festival Orchestra.
