Our weekend at beautiful Chateau Tivoli in San Francisco, CA, October 29 and 30, 2011. We had long wanted to visit Chateau Tivoli, which stands next to the boyhood home of the late Yehudi Menuhin, one of the 20th century's greatest violinists and for Dorothy, an idol since childhood.  We will post  our music videos for this weekend soon.

On this page we share with you a new hobby: creating informal performance videos and posting them on YouTube. We are still learning to use our Adobe Premiere video software to edit and combine some of our most recent videos (starting with the Magic Flutes at Avalon videos). Many of the videos recorded on two recorders. Often, when we travel or go on day trips bring recorders but not the violin, which is more difficult to travel with. Also, because we have so many violin/recorder sound samples online, we thought it would be nice to also feature duo recorders on these videos.
