The
Ojai Revels reunite on Saturday, November 17, 2007 at 3:00 p.m. to present “We
Gather Together,” an informal Thanksgiving concert on violins and recorders.
The free program will be presented for residents at The Gables of Ojai and is
open to the public.
The Revels last appeared in August of 2002, when they presented their Midsummer
Night’s Dream concert at the Gables. They also performed holiday music at
Rains Department store in December of 2000.
Violinist Dorée Huneven, a long-time
Washington
D.C.
area resident, travels to Ojai several times per year to visit her father
Arthur Huneven, a resident of The Gables. She and violinist/recorderist Dorothy
Barth were fellow music majors during the early 1970’s at
Pasadena
City
College
and reconnected almost three decades later through the wonders of the internet.
Dorée Huneven was one of the early students of Shinichi Suzuki in
Japan
and finished her music studies in
Southern California. She is president-elect of the Washington DC/MD Chapter of the American String
Teachers Association and has an active violin studio in the DC area.
Dorothy Barth received her music degree from
Stanford
University. A writer and special events musician, she now lives in the
San Francisco
Bay
area. Recorderist Bertram Barth is the third member of the Revels. He is a
psychotherapist who often performs with Dorothy for events in
Northern California.
As with prior bi-coastal Revels reunions, this year’s program is chosen from
the trio’s music libraries, a binder is mailed across the country, and the
program is further discussed by phone and by internet. The Revels will rehearse
together upon arrival in Ojai the day before the concert.
In
the spirit of gratitude, reflection, and celebration, the mostly American
program will freely mix sacred and secular music.
