Danielle Rothschild is a composer and pianist based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She graduated summa cum laude from the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Music in Composition, a Bachelor of Science in Music Business and Entrepreneurship, and a Minor in Event Management. She is one of the first two students to graduate from UF’s Music Business and Entrepreneurship program and was honored with the Presser Scholarship Award for excellence in music and academics.

A passionate advocate for both the artistry and logistics of music, Danielle’s work spans chamber and orchestral composition, film scoring, digital production, recording, and event management. Her musical journey began early, with formal piano studies starting at age six. While she has studied several instruments over the years, piano remains her primary focus. In 2020, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic ignited her passion for composition and drew her interest to film scoring especially. Influenced by composers such as Cody Fry, Justin Hurwitz, Michael Giacchino, Emily Bear, and John Williams, her music reflects a deep appreciation for emotionally driven storytelling.

Danielle’s compositions have been performed by University of Florida musicians and professional ensembles including the Ocala Symphony Orchestra, The _____ Experiment with the Sound Moves Residency at the Harn Museum of Art, and the BlackBox Ensemble. In 2026, she was commissioned to compose a solo piano work dedicated to acclaimed Australian pianist Roger Woodward. She attended the Nief-Norf Summer Festival as a 2026 Composition Fellow, where her French Horn Quartet piece, SNORF, was premiered.

In addition to composing, Danielle is deeply involved in music production and event management. She has organized recitals, coordinated guest artist residencies, and managed everything from equipment setup to live recording and audio engineering. Her technical skills and collaborative spirit have led her to work with Latin Grammy-winning artists and contribute as an assistant recording engineer to the platinum-winning project “Oh, Korea!”, which received an AVA Digital Award for Long Form Music Video.

Whether composing, producing, or managing events, Danielle remains dedicated to creating meaningful connections and impactful artistic experiences through music, fostering moments that stay with performers, collaborators, and audiences long after the music ends.
