ABOUT

„The name BARKE over the years has become a trademark of musical quality, one can credit in blind trust.“

With over 2,000 stage performances under his belt, the tireless talent chameleon Daniel Barke is one of Germany's most dynamic personalities in the music business. His colorful journey intersects with guest appearances at some of the world's most prestigious vocal ensembles, including Grammy winners The New York Voices and the cult group The Flying Pickets. The certified jazz saxophonist is regarded across Europe as a leading instructor for modern choral music in jazz, contemporary, and pop.

While juggling roles as a speaker, music producer, and artistic director of his own creation, Vokalrausch, where he oversees ambitious projects in every artistic direction, his unparalleled core competency lies in his work as an outstanding educator. From amateur choirs to international competition winners, he has coached everyone who isn’t up a tree!
