Join us for a rare chance to experience the rich, resonant sound of a large recorder ensemble—featuring far more voices than the familiar SATB arrangements many of us know and love. Recorder orchestras are growing in popularity across North America and Europe, yet here in Canada, the only established group is the venerable Okanagan Recorder Orchestra. Now, we finally have the opportunity to discover what all the excitement is about.
Recorderist, orchestra member, and conductor Marea Chernoff will lead this full-day workshop, guiding participants into the vibrant world of the recorder orchestra. The selected repertoire spans a wide range of musical eras and styles, offering something for everyone.
To help make the most of this experience, BCRS will share additional details and open registration slightly earlier than usual. This will allow us to gather information about the instruments participants plan to play. You’ll also receive the music in advance, giving you time to prepare and fully engage in the workshop.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to be immersed in the thrilling, powerful sound of a recorder orchestra!
THIS WORKSHOP IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO IN-PERSON PARTICIPANTS.
