BCRS Board member Tony Griffiths says:  "I have known Farallon for about 20 years, and have taken many classes from them in California, Victoria, Seattle, Portland, Brittany, Italy, Scotland, Cornwall, and Wales. Not only are they wonderful recorder players, but they are great teachers too. These are international stars, and we have the opportunity to meet and play with them without leaving the Lower Mainland."

The Old Avoca Schoolhouse in Avoca, Nebraska will be streaming three on line Bach Workshops for violins, violas, cellos, basses, soprano recorder, and alto recorder.

The workshop will explore tunes from our “Bach Family Album Tunes for Two. This collection of 26 lively pieces were composed by Johann Sebastian Bach and four of his sons, Wilhelm Friedemann, Carl Philipp Emanuel, Johann Christoph Friedrich, and Johann Christian.  A generous helping of dance movements (courante, sarabande, gigue, bourree, minuet, and polonaise) are included.

The Highland Park Recorder Society is offering a Consort Studio in central New Jersey, monthly sessions in ensemble playing for intermediate and above recorder players to play with one another and other instruments under a skilled conductor, with professional accompaniment.

Music Director Steven Russell will lead a “Consort Studio” ensemble of recorder players in an exploration of Baroque Trio Sonatas through rehearsal, instruction and demonstration and end with the players opportunity to play solo alto with a professional ensemble of harpsichord and violin, flute, or oboe depending on the music. Focusing on ensemble skills, this will take place in a welcoming, intimate environment that encourages people to feel comfortable to get up and play. We will have opportunities to warm up on Renaissance music with SATB recorders, so bring all sizes.
