BIO: “A musician of great sensitivity and dynamic stage presence” -Duluth
News Tribune, oboe & English horn specialist, Darci Griffith Gamerl’s
groundbreaking, collaborative work has taken her to stages around the
world. Ms. Gamerl has been recognized by The American Prize for her
compositions & chamber music artistry. As a speaker/presenting artist,
her talks center around ethical business & crafting a career in classical
music.Lifelines collide – brought together by friends, an open mic night & a shooting star, Bel Canto Duo was founded in 2016 by looping artist & cellist, David Downing, and multi-instrumentalist, Darci Gamerl. Bel Canto’s mission is to create meaningful connection and community by creating world-class music that is accessible to audiences of all ages. Their compositions combine lyrical, poignant lines with a rich, orchestral sound.
Offering immersive live music paired with evocative imagery, reviewers have described Darci & David’s performances as ‘magical’, ‘music that speaks to my soul’, with a ‘unique and emotive sound’.
Bel Canto Duo has grown organically, focusing on the science of healing music modalities, community building and accessible live music. Darci & David’s work has shifted into the preservation and highlighting of American culture & heritage with new original music for the films, Nebraska Flatwater, Willa Cather: Breaking The Mold & an upcoming residency highlighting the work of American sculptor, Daniel Chester French.
As members of the Nebraska Arts Council Touring Artist Roster, the pair received the Outstanding New Artist (2023) award by Omaha Entertainment Awards, Best Wedding Music by Nebraska Wedding Day (2023, 2024) & the finalist award for the American Prize in composition & the Ernst Bacon Prize for the performance of American music (2023).Join us IN PERSON at 10:30am
