Playing together in varying small ensembles, we offer acoustic music for indoor and outdoor locations in central Ohio. Always ready to adapt, our ensembles provide music for weddings, garden and house parties, museum and gallery openings, nature programs, school programs, and events whether corporate, private, long-planned, or spur-of-the-moment.

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 ensembles reflect the distinctive qualities of our instruments – a soaring flute, a silky violin, a mellow viola, a glowing cello, and their string and wind relatives.

Our wide-ranging repertoire, spanning three and one-half centuries and drawing on genres from Baroque to popular contemporary, gives our clients many choices in selecting music.  A major reason we are adaptable is that all of us are experienced music educators.  Drawing on our natural rapport with youth, we also create and provide innovative, experiential programs for schools and educational events.

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.
