2001 Season
 | The 2001 Gathering concert season began on March 10th with the music of Kit Watkins. From the subtle ambience of Circle and the Thought Tones series to the virtuoso musicianship of Beauty Drifting and The Unseen, this impressive Gathering concert presented two wonderful sets of Kit's focused melodies and his deep drift stylings. Thanks so much for being at this rare appearence by one of our nation's most talented and seldom seen artists. |
| The legendary jazz ensemble Oregon performed at the Gathering on March 19th. Oregon's world-class line-up included: Ralph Towner on guitar and keyboards, Paul McCandless on oboe and English horn, Glen Moore on acoustic bass and Mark Walker on percussion. The Oregon performance at the Gathering was their only area concert during 2001's Spring tour. |

 | On April 21st, the Gathering presented the area debuts of ambienteer James Johnson and Prana, the overtone singing octet headed by Baird Hersey. The evening's offering unfolded beautifully with Prana's candle lit performance of their enigmatic vocal harmonizations, followed by Johnson's dynamic and momentus synthesizer realizations. |

 | Spacecraft returned to the Gathering and to the church sanctuary of St. Mary's Hamilton Village on May 19th, this time as a quartet. Added since their last visit, Giles Reaves joined Tony Gerber, Diane and John Rose in Spacecraft. Reaves, with wife Deirdre, opened the evening of music with a dreamy set which included classic as well as new spacemusic. Spacecraft then performed their engaging style of free-form space improvisations. |  |
 | The Fall Gathering season began on 15 September with a unique concert of ambient tuba soundscapes by Tom Heasley and the harmonic singing of Spectral Voices. Performing as a duo, Jim Cole and Alan Dow of Spectral Voices produced spellbinding vocal soundscapes through the manipulation of overtones created in the throat. Tom Heasley created a dense ambient soundscape of processed tuba tones. Overall, a healing and deep listening experience. |

 | Two of Holland's most interesting artists in electronic sound are Wave World and Free System Projekt. Both groups are popular attractions on the European festival scene and made their stateside concert debut at the Gathering in Philadelphia on 13 October at St. Mary's Church. |
