As an pit musician, Tony has most recently wrapped up his first season with the Ohio Light Opera, where he served as both Concertmaster and a Section Violinist throughout the 50 - season show, playing comedic favorites from Me and My Girl to classics like The Sound of Music. In addition to his work with the Ohio Light Opera, Tony is a Section Violin I of the North Worcester Symphony Orchestra, and makes frequent appearances with various ensembles throughout the New York Tri-State and New England areas such as the Atlantic and Connecticut Symphony Orchestras, the latter being where Mr. Daise served as a Violin Fellow during the 2023/24 season. Mr. Daise uses performance as a means to uplift the arts community, specifically those from diverse backgrounds, with the aim of fostering a deeper appreciation for classical music among broader audiences.
