Bertram Barth, Solo Recorder

Unaccompanied by other instruments, the recorder has an airy, meditative quality that can beautifully enhance intimate wedding ceremonies. Bert performs on soprano, alto, and tenor recorders. The alto and tenor are best suited for ceremonial use, while the sprightly, nimble soprano recorder is great for after the ceremony.

When performing solo, Bert specializes in music from the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque eras. He can also perform folkloric selections, including lively English Country Dances, Celtic music, and Jewish music. 

With a daytime career as a healing professional, Bert especially appreciates the soothing quality of the recorder. While he often performs as a duo with Dorothy, their schedules occasionally diverge, making each available for individual musical engagements.

Bert is available for weekend events in the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, and the Napa and Sonoma Wine Country.
