Welcome
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." Quote from Racheal Cogan, composer and workshop leader (March 2015) To read more and hear the piece: Music for a Cavern
