Gut, Wind, and Wire, a trio formed by longtime Baltimore Consort members Mark Cudek, Ronn McFarlane, and Mindy Rosenfeld, is named for the natural elements that bring our instruments to life: gut strings, wire strings, and wind (breath). Since its inception, Gut, Wind & Wire has explored a diverse range of music from the 16th and 17th centuries, as well as folk traditions and original compositions. Through maple, boxwood, spruce, rosewood, blackwood, tulipwood, strings of sheep gut and metal (on cittern, viola da gamba, riq, lute, flutes, fifes, and bagpipes), our sound springs forth through touch and breath. Mark, Mindy, and Ronn have been making music together for over four decades.
There is no admission for these concerts, though we hope audience members will support the series with a goodwill donation of any amount (suggested amount: $10). These 45-minute programs include solo performers and chamber musicians based in DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia.
