Kristin Barca
Violin teacher, enjoyed tap dancing
HARWICH PORT—Kristin Barca, 70, a life-long resident of Harwich, died Nov. 21 after a brave battle with cancer.
Kristin was born in 1936, the daughter of well-known dance teacher Lisa Farham, whose family boasted a number of acclaimed local artists including her siblings Martha Cahoon and Eric Farham. She attended Harwich public schools and was a recipient of the Brooks Medal. A graduate of Northfield School, a college preparatory school, she attended Mount Holyoke College and settled in Harwich with her former husband Peter Barca.
After many years encouraging her five children in their violin study and accompanying their classes as a pianist, she went on to become an accomplished violin teacher. For more than 20 years she directed the Suzuki violin program at the Harwich Elementary School and maintained a private violin studio where until a month before her passing she remained a devoted and beloved teacher. She left a huge musical legacy of hundreds of enthusiastic young violinists.
Mrs. Barca enjoyed dance almost as much as music and learned the art of tap dancing in her later years, performing frequently with the Elaine Chase dancers.
She is survived by her five children, Lisa Barca-Hall of Santa Cruz, Calif., Michael Barca and Timothy Barca of Vail, Colo., Erik Barca, of Boston, and Rebecca Barca Tinus of Martha's Vineyard; and 12 grandchildren.
Burial was private at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery in Harwich Port. A memorial service will be held Jan. 20, 2007 at 12:30 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Meetinghouse of Chatham, 819 Main St., Chatham. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Harwich Fire Department Rescue Squad, 175 Sisson Road, Harwich, MA 02645 or the Harwich Conservation Trust, P.O. Box 205, Harwich Port, MA 02646.
