Search - Darkwood Consort :: Cafe Musik

Never content to merely be the only bass clarinet and viola duo in the world, Darkwood Consort has cultivated a repertoire of exotic instrumental music that blends folk, medieval and classical music with a dose of vaudeville. Darkwood has taken its brand of stand-up chamber music from Idaho to Denmark, the 33rd International Viola Congress in Iceland, the first World Bass Clarinet Conference in Holland to the Katrina-ravaged Gulf Coast. Cafe Musik demonstrates Darkwood's genuine taste for the eclectic with Manos Hadjidakis' exotic Amidst the Ruins of Hadrian's Gate; their Danish heritage with Jeg gik mig ud en sommerdag; their love of the Middle Ages with Dufay's Adieu ces bons vins de Lannoys; their commitment to social justice with Buffy Sainte-Marie's Seeds of Brotherhood, and a dose of humor with Roger Miller's King of the Road, which Miller wrote in Darkwood's base of operations, Boise, Idaho.
