Goldeye Centre
Modern, medieval, mystical...much music for our members!
Fall Retreat: September 19-21, 2025
Next year...save the date! Goldeye Centre: Sept 18-20, 2026
'Twas a weekend where we joined together in groups (large and small) to chat, laugh, snack, walk in nature and play.
Oh, also...to expand our skills, conquer an accidental or two,
try a trill and keep the rhythm.
Many, many thanks to the organizers,
leaders and participants!

Past Care and Maintenance Workshop
A little oil in your wooden recorders spruces
them up to sound even more harmonious!
Our small group gently liberally oiled all their recorder parts,
noting how the wood readily absorbed their special drink.
Vince's guidance, and all the supplies were appreciated.

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
