2009-2010 Season



At our spring workshop 2009

We are a group of Rochester-area recorder players who meet twice a month from September to May. Together with several talented volunteer teachers, the group provides opportunities to participate in learning sessions, consorts, and several performances. In our 2009-2010 season, we are planning two workshops, and in May, a public concert to show what we've learned. Many of our members also play in small groups outside of our meetings -- perhaps you have seen them play.

Recorder frequency ranges

Upcoming Events

Note: A "Chapter Meeting" includes first hour classes, a business meeting, and second hour classes. Beginners meet every week, and on weeks when a chapter meeting is being held, also are welcome to the business meeting. Business meetings are not "strictly business" -- we try to have one or two groups present a piece they are working on each time. It's a great way to hear what your friends are working on, or simply to be inspired.
