We particularly cherish providing enjoyment and education to the community at the intersection of nature and music, and have played for many events in the great outdoors. Whether indoors or amidst nature, our stringed instruments of nature’s own wood come together with wind instruments powered by human life-force breath, as they have for thousands of years.  Our trio reflects the distinctive qualities of our instruments – a soaring flute, a silky violin, a glowing cello, and their string and wind relatives.  

Our repertoire draws on genres from Baroque to popular contemporary, giving our clients many choices in selecting music.  A major reason we are adaptable is that all of us are experienced music educators.  With our natural rapport with youth, we also create and provide innovative, experiential programs for schools and educational events.

Dan Clark, cello, guitar

Realizing an affinity for chamber music in high school, Dan over the years has found deep appreciation and love for playing in small ensembles. He has discovered that the magical connection between players in a smaller ensemble and the chemistry that can evolve between a group and its audience are forever intriguing. Additionally, he often performs in orchestras and as a soloist. Gaining musical knowledge from his teachers including Ernst Silberstein (The Cleveland Orchestra) and William Conable (The Ohio State University), Dan earned a Bachelor of Music Education degree from Otterbein College. With his extensive background, he was the string specialist at Stanton’s Sheet Music in Columbus, Ohio, helping music teachers, students and professionals find just the right music for their needs. 

Unexpected and fun facts:  As a bass and guitar player, Dan has also explored rock, pop, folk, country and jazz music over the last 50+ years. During one stretch, he and his wife performed together in The Time Between, a folk group which played at coffee houses, art show openings and summer festivals.  Dan also likes to spend time with his wife, children and grandchildren as well as dabbling in gardening, cycling and cartooning.
