Welcome to SRS

The Sacramento Recorder Society is a chapter of the American Recorder Society and an affiliate of the San Francisco Early Music Society. We welcome recorder players of all ages and abilities as well as players of other early music instruments such as lutes, viols, sackbuts, shawms, curtals, krummhorns, and percussion.  We meet monthly September through June, from 6:45-9:30 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each month, at the Friends Meeting House, 890 57th St., between H and J. We always welcome visitors to our meetings.  Map

Flanders Recorder Quartet

SAVE THE DATE!

The Flanders Recorder Quartet will be returning to San Jose for a concert on Sunday 25 February 2018. This will be their final tour before the group is disbanding. They will also be giving a short workshop in San Jose, on the day of the concert.

The concert is brought to San Jose by the San Jose Chamber Music Society.

I’ll send out more information on the workshop as it becomes available.

Kathryn Canan & Mark Schiffer-  Recorders

Between Feb. 23 rd and March 2nd Bethel Lutheran was broken into four times and sustained thousands of dollars in damage. Thieves removed portions of the AC and heating systems and disassembled/destroyed sacred pieces from the altar area including candelabras, advent wreath, and the processional cross – some of which we were able to reassemble and some of which were left damaged beyond repair. Your donations are gratefully received.

Thank you for your kindness.
