Prior to this, he was the Solo English Horn of the Sarasota Opera Orchestra under the baton of Maestro Victor Di Renzi. During this time, Mr. Glynn also served as the Principal Oboe of the Ash Lawn Opera in Charlottesville, Virginia.

In demand as a freelance musician, Daniel  has performed with such notable ensembles as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Grant Park Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Philharmonic, Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra, Florida Orchestra, Florida Grand Opera, Opera Naples, the Callipygian Players, and the Illinois Philharmonic. He has been a full-time member of both the Civic Orchestra of Chicago and the New World Symphony. While a member of the Civic Orchestra, Daniel was a featured soloist in Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante with members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

Daniel has been awarded the first prize in both the Union League and Civic Arts Foundation Competition, as well as having been named the Luminarts Classical Music Winds Fellow for 2015-2016.
