From Vince:  As you may know, my basement holds a large collection of recorder music of all styles and eras which I’m keen to explore – I don’t think even I know quite what’s lurking in the depths of some of my filing cabinets….. Playing level will be easy/medium (there could be occasional pointers on style and recorder technique if people find this useful) and there would be no commitment to performing, though there could be opportunities if everyone is keen. The intention is to enjoy exploring music, bring some pieces to a befitting level of playing, and have fun.​    About Vince   
Mark your calendars!

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
