August 28! Summer Sunday Delight
Ten players took pleasure in live harmony together! The weather cooperated as we played some folk songs,
a brand new canon, and tried and true pieces from the 1500s.
Besides playing, a few musicians entertained us with recorder/guitar and recorder/voice compositions.
Many thanks to our host, Lori; also to our leaders Vince and Anne; to those who prepared pieces for our listening enjoyment; and everyone able to attend!

Springtime Sunday Gala!
Springtime Sunday Gala!
This was a highlight of our year (and...for a couple of years) -- an in-person performance! We heard duets, recorder/guitar, Baroque flute and our ERS Ensemble. Special guests were recorder students who wowed us with their lovely tone, trills and fast fingers.
Our play-in component allowed the youngsters to participate in a whole SATB consort and even more of the performers could finally play in person together.
Many thanks to the audience, performers and organizers.

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."
