The program was conceived by Maggie and Darrel, the violinist and actor

for the group. This South Dakota based ensemble, has been performing in

America and Europe since 2002. But what has it become, exactly?

The concept is an antique one. It was originally called the “melody-drama”

(or melodrama) in which music and words take an equal part in the show.

In the old days, audiences thought nothing of the actors leaving the stage or

becoming silent while the musicians continued the story with only their

music. The success of the project has been unfolding to this day.
