Dr. Daniel I. Paulson founded Vox Musica in 2006 and has served as its Music Director ever since. He holds a Doctorate in Music Education from Teachers College, Columbia University, along with graduate degrees in choral conducting and music education.

Hailed as an “astute programmer” and a conductor who can “coax urbane performances from his singers,” Daniel has led ensembles at the International Festival of New American Music, San Francisco's Old First Concert Series, and the American Choral Directors Association's National Convention. He is also a commissioned composer with more than twenty works for strings, piano, and chorus, and serves as Professor of Voice and Choral Music at Sacramento City College.

“Paulson consistently produces programs that thoughtfully translate and provide context for the cerebral music they tackle,” writes the Sacramento Choral Calendar. It's that same care Daniel brings to welcoming this December's guest singers into the ensemble.”
