Large recorder
ensemble
The
recorder ensemble was founded in 2005. It consists of some 20 players, but as far as
I’m concerned
there is plenty of room for more. We have two great basses and two contras at
our disposal now. The ensemble rehearses once a month on Tuesday evening from
19.45 to 21.45. Anyone who has had recorder lessons for a few years or more
can join the group. The sound of a large recorder ensemble is wonderful, and
players of different levels enjoy playing together. At present, the level
ranges roughly from grade 3/4 to grade 7/8. The atmosphere is very friendly,
and everyone can speak English! If you are interested, you are more than
welcome to join us for a trial session, just to see what it is like. The
dates for 2022 - 2023 are below.
