Summer 2025 and 2025-2026 Season

We are a group of Rochester-area recorder players who meet from September to May. Together with several talented volunteer teachers, the group provides opportunities to participate in learning sessions, consorts, and several performances. 

Recorder players of all levels from beginner to experienced are welcome.

Our meeting location is the First Baptist Church of Rochester, at 175 Allen's Creek Road. Meetings are on the second and fourth Tuesdays, starting at 7:00pm. Our annual dues for 2024-25 were $65.

Thank you all for a wonderful recorder season. We are on break from regular meetings this season, but the outreach group will be meeting to prepare for concerts this summer.  All members are welcome if you would like the chance to sight read some new-to-you songs.
