Announcing the next Philadelphia Recorder Society In-person and Virtual Playing Session
Saturday, June 15, 2024
led by Music Director Rainer Beckmann
Cathedral Village, 600 East Cathedral Road, Philadelphia, PA
Playing begins at 10:00 AM.
We're gathering in Cathedral Hall, which is located across from the entrance to the main building. Please arrive in plenty of time to find suitable parking, greet friends, and set up your instruments so we can start playing promptly at 10 AM. Visitors are welcome.
For those who can't join in person, we'll be streaming our playing session over Zoom. The Zoom meeting will open at 9:30 AM and we'll start playing at 10 AM. Members will receive a Zoom link via email, usually one day before we meet.
From PRS President Dan Franceski:
At our June 15th playing session we will have a brief annual meeting (in accordance with our by-laws). I will report on membership attendance and the results of our board member election and Julie Senecoff will give a financial report. Rainer will comment on the upcoming 2024/2025 season, and, finally, your comments and input will be welcome!
From Music Director Rainer Beckmann:
Dear Friends,
This year's Consort Day meeting will feature performances of ten consorts ranging from duos to quintets. Made up of PRS members and friends, these groups have prepared a truly colorful program for us all to enjoy. A detailed program handout will be available at the meeting.
The playlist for the meetings's large group playing ("TUTTI") includes popular pieces with a local touch from earlier Consort Day editions, like the Schuylkill Navy Glee and the famous Liberty Bell March. Maybe most importantly, it also entails a number of pieces from the beloved Bernstein music books that we regularly took advantage of in the past.
I very much look forward to seeing you at Consort Day!
Rainer Beckmann
