It's obvious that Black Marigold is very serious about delivering enjoyable,
expressive and professional performances. - Brian DuFord, composer
About us
Black Marigold was founded in June of 2012 by five musicians with a desire to perform woodwind quintet music at a high professional level. As advocates of new music and living composers, they present captivating concerts introducing new music, while also highlighting classic woodwind quintet repertoire.
Black Marigold strives to foster fresh perceptions of new music by showcasing pieces that are equally enjoyable for performers and audiences alike. With a strong investment in the lifelong pursuit of music education, members of the ensemble present thoughtful verbal program notes to engage the audience and liven the concert experience.
By performing creatively programmed concerts with personality, flair and audience interaction, Black Marigold breathes new life into the woodwind quintet setting. You will leave their concerts smarter, happier and more inspired than when you arrived!
