Bel Canto Duo
The Bel Canto Duo was founded in 2016 by Darci Griffith Gamerl (oboe/English horn) and Grammy-nominated cellist, David Downing. We provide a wonderful variety of selections that feature us together as a duo, and as solo artists. Our music features a wide variety of selections from original works, and traditional classical compositions to favorite arrangements inspired by film, broadway and opera.

"Darci and David have done several special events for me at Joslyn Castle. They have an electric chemistry, rich repertoire, and top-notch musicianship. Plus they are really nice people. I will hire them again soon." - Keith Hart
Bel Canto Duo: "played for an event that was hosted by one of our special guests at the Durham Museum. They were absolutely wonderful and unbelievably professional! Darci and David were very delightful to converse and work with. Their music added so much more to the event itself--it wouldn't have been the same without them!" - Callie Sutton
Bel Canto Duo: "played for my mother's 85th birthday, and they were a huge hit! They tailored the concert toward what she wanted, and she was absolutely thrilled. A large percentage of those who attended specifically sought out my mother and told her how much they loved the music. Very professional and gifted musicians. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!" - SKB
