Meetings 2008/2009


Meetings are now on Thursdays in the Lounge at Queens Cross Church, Albyn Place, Aberdeen, AB10 1YN (click here for a map) from 7:30pm until 10pm

See below for 2008/2009 meeting dates.

If you enjoy playing the recorder and can sight read music reasonably well, you are most welcome to join us. There are no auditions and you won't be expected to hold a part on your own (unless you want to of course!). Playing sessions are conducted by our Musical Director and all music is provided, so you just need to bring your recorder(s) (the more shapes and sizes the better) and a music stand. The charge for non SRP members is £4.50 which includes tea and cakes…but your first visit is free.

If you are an SRP member visiting Aberdeen or the surrounding areas and would like to join us for one of our meetings we would be very pleased to see you.

Activities
We have no fixed programme but we try to cater for a range of musical tastes ... so be prepared for anything!

We regularly hold playing days at the branch and participate in the Scottish and National SRP festivals. We also take part in concerts throughout the year.

Some of our members are involved with the Scottish Recorder Orchestra and some also meet for informal "one to a part" playing. Join us and find out more!

Young Players
We now have a group for young players which meets before the main session at 7.00 pm and then joins in with the main group until around 8 pm.  Please telephone or email the branch secretary if you or someone you know would be interested in joining.
