Announcing the next Philadelphia Recorder Society In-person and Virtual Playing Session
Saturday, April 18, 2026
led by Rainer Beckmann.

Cathedral Village, 600 East Cathedral Road, Philadelphia, PA
Playing begins at 10:00 AM.

We're meeting in Cathedral Hall, which is located across from the entrance to the main Cathedral Village 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 Music Director Rainer Beckmann

Dear Friends,

This month's playlist features music from five centuries in a colorful mix of styles and genres. Perhaps not surprisingly, it is loosely inspired by the arrival of spring. As the final piece, the playlist includes the newest publication from the American Recorder Society's Members' Library Editions. Many of you will have recently received Cloud Jaunt by Glen Shannon as a supplement to American Recorder.

This year, for the first time, we will present our informal annual concert for Cathedral Village residents during the April playing session. From 10:00 to 11:15 AM, we will first rehearse the pieces on the playlist (concert program). The performance will then begin at 11:30 AM.

Please feel free to invite family and friends to join us for this special occasion!

With warmest regards,
Rainer Beckmann
