Christmas Recorder Ensemble
The ERS is not participating at the Legislature Building this year.
. A 45-minute Christmas programme is being planned
for a care facility in December, date and location TBA.
You are welcome to participate, either by playing a piece of
music or participating in an ensemble. The programme is open to any Christmas-appropriate selection you’d like to play
for recorder and/or other instruments, or sing.
We’d like to put together a lovely, varied music programme
with wide participation similar to the Alberta Legislature
programmes we’ve done in past years.
Please RSVP to [email protected] by next Friday, November 9, if you’d like to come

Edmonton Recorder Society
Edmonton Suzuki Flute and Recorder Society
Edmonton Recorder Society members were delighted to perform pieces to show the depth of our humble instrument in demonstrating eight individual parts organized in two SATB choir sections. We also played a favourite, Lo, How a Rose. A special treat was playing the Huron Carol and Branle de l.Officiel with the Edmonton Suzuki Flute and Recorder Society . Those youngsters also played Wenceslas / Daddy Long Legs; Andrew Mine, Jasper Mine; Away in a Manger; Ring Christmas Bells; O Hanukah. Their ensemble included recorder, drums, bells, flute, alto flute and bass flute!
Many thanks to Dorothy Beyer, Kathleen Schoen and Lori Klingbeil for their leadership.

About Celebrate the Season: Here's an excerpt from the Alberta Legislature Visitor Services website: DECEMBER 2 to 23, 2016 For over 30 years [we have] celebrated the holiday season with musical performances throughout December. Nearly 70 musical ensembles from throughout the province will grace the Legislature rotunda's grand staircase with daily performances during Celebrate the Season.
Lights: Thousands of bright lights provide the perfect backdrop for a holiday stroll on the beautiful Legislature Grounds. The centrepiece tree is a 60-foot spruce originating from the Edson area and is lit with over 5,000 lights of its own

Mini Concert: Christmas at the Legislature
Wednesday, December 10, 2014
This was the second year that we participated in Celebrate the Season, a series of choir and music performances at noon and early evening throughout December in the Rotunda at the Legislative Buildings. What a grand hall in which to play early music! Our Christmas pieces rang out to complement the visual display of poinsettias and colourfully lit tree. The warm weather encouraged a good number of citizens to check us out, as did a couple of prominent politicians. Sixteen players, representing various permutations of five small ensembles*, played everything from Byrd to Bach, Corelli, Holst and Guaraldi.
* Quattro/Trio Corelli, Lori and Alena, The Three Tooters, Suite Tweet, The Fipple Sounds
