Let classical violinist Dorothy Barth add the elegant, expressive warmth of a solo violin to your Southern California wedding, reception, anniversary or birthday celebration, or other special event. In
the spring of 2012 Dorothy relocated to Southern California from the San Francisco Bay area (where
for a decade she played for many events in the Napa and Sonoma Wine
Country). Now residing in Fallbrook, a
popular wedding destination, Dorothy is
available to bring beautiful
violin music to your wedding in San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, or Los
Angeles County. She is conveniently located near the Temecula
Wine Country, home to many beautiful wedding venues. Dorothy Barth received her music degree from Stanford University. Her early teachers include Karel Blaas, Alice Schoenfeld, Kenneth Fiske, and Kenneth Goldsmith. She completed nearly 3 years of advanced study with Dr. David Margetts in Fresno, CA. While living in Northern California, she performed with the Solano Community Symphony, the Baroque Sinfonia of Sonoma County, the Vallejo Symphony, the Vallejo Choral Society, and the American Recorder Orchestra of the West. She frequently performs with her husband Bert for special events as the recorder and violin duo flutes of fancy. Dorothy Barth is also a writer whose article on wedding ceremony music (Music for a Perfect Moment) appeared in Portland Bride and Groom and Weddings in Houston. Other music essays, interviews, and stories have been published in these magazines and journals: California Music Teacher |
