This branch of the Society of Recorder Players took its name from the York Guildhall where we first met when we started in 1993.
Please telephone our Secretary to let us know that you’d like to join us for a free trial first visit. (See below for contact details.) For the 2011-2012 season we will continue to hold our usual meetings on the afternoons of the third Saturdays of each month in Skelton Village Hall from 2 to 5 pm. But do check for exceptions!
Our meetings start with gentler, easier, pieces. If you are a novice recorder player, why not come along to join us? The best way to improve the standard of your consort playing is to join in with the easier pieces at first, and attempt what you can of some of the harder pieces. We were all beginners once! After a short break (tea, coffee, fruit squash or juice and biscuits for 20 pence – all as available), we continue with general ensemble playing.
Visitors are always welcome – we make no charge for the first visit. Music is provided, but please bring a music stand if possible.
