Rochester Chapter
of the
American Recorder Society

2008-2009 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 2008-2009 season, we are planning two workshops, and in May, a public concert to show what we've learned.

Our end-of-season concert will be in the sanctuary at First Baptist Church (map) at 7pm on May 17th. Admission is free. Members come early to rehearse (5:30, or earlier for outside groups). If you're interested in joining us next season, this is a perfect opportunity to hear the kinds of music we play.
