About Darkwood Consort

Darkwood Consort was founded in 1992 by bass clarinet specialist Alan Nielsen. As an ensemble that presents a seven-century repertoire with distinctly modern instrumentation, Darkwood's programs have included works by strikingly diverse composers such as Landini, Mozart, and Buffy Sainte-Marie. Yet, listeners have found this audacity to be quickly elevated by Darkwood's accessible delivery of seemingly divergent material.

As a result, the Consort has become a fixture in the arts community in Southwestern Idaho. Darkwood has made several television appearances, entertained numerous regional to international dignitaries, and sponsored and performed in events for many arts and/or cultural organizations, including the
