for Experienced Musicians
for Experienced Musicians
If you have a music background and are interested in learning the recorder, one of the best ways to do so is through ensemble-playing.
The Edmonton Recorder Society (ERS) is organizing recorder ensembles
for experienced musicians who are new to the recorder.
for experienced musicians who are new to the recorder.
- Ensembles of 4 to 8 players, starting in June and continuing in September.
- Beginner to intermediate recorder-playing level.
- Ensembles will include all recorders (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass)
- Led by experienced recorder players from the Edmonton Recorder Society.
- Repertoire includes modern styles as well as pulling from the vast and wondrous supply of renaissance and baroque music (such as Josquin, Byrd, Gibbons, Praetorius)
- As skill level develops, learn to switch between recorders.
- Players should bring their own instrument(s), though some are available for loan from the ERS over the short-term.

Welcome to the Edmonton Recorder Society
The Edmonton Recorder Society is a volunteer-run organization of amateur musicians who love to play the recorder. We play the school sized soprano and then we enrich it with harmony from the alto, tenor and bass recorders. Occasionally, we add a great bass, or some descants from the sopranino or the tiny garklein recorder. Our music repertoire ranges from medieval to modern periods. We organize:
play-ins concerts workshops an annual retreat
a recorder ensemble a music lending library
Membership is open to anyone.
As of March 2010, the ERS is proud to be a Chapter of the American Recorder Society.

Nordegg Retreat, 2017
Nordegg Retreat, 2017
Our popular retreat continued to provide a rewarding, inspiring and fun experience, both musically and socially for all players. The organizing committee were excited to introduce a few changes - which were well received. It was delightful to use the gazebo, too - so we had two spaces that overlooked a fabulous mountain view.
September 22-24 (optional arrival time: Thursday, the 21st)
For a general overview, see the Nordegg Retreat page.

Kudos: "Thanks also to members of the Edmonton Recorder Society for being the first group of people to play through the score and show me how awesome and fun it would be to perform this piece live."
