Sacramento Recorder Society

This year's Sacramento Recorder Society's Winter Party was so much fun! Lots of groups performed, the food was great, everyone had a good time, and unlike last year we did not have to battle a fierce winter storm to get to the hall!

Lots of recorder players performed last night as part of the Sacramento Recorder Society’s Winter Party. This is a short, truncated video of me talking about the 14th century piece Greta and I were about to play: Puisque je sui fumeux (Since I am smoky, full of smoke, ), by Jehan Hasprois. It’s about people (apparently behaviorally challenged) who belonged to a medieval society of smokers, and is one of the strangest medieval pieces that we play. I'm hoping that someone made a recording of the piece. With Mark Schiffer and Greta Haug-Hryciw.

A favorite SRS member and ARS Board member does Play-the-Recorder-Day right! Wish I'd been there, Greta!

Sacramento Recorder Society members playing at the California State Capitol on December 10. The rotunda always has festive decorations this time of year and the acoustics are wonderful. It's a fun place to perform! With Patricia Johnson, Doris Loughner, Susan Lee Titus, Robert Foster, Cheryl Precivale, Elsa Morrison, Mark Schiffer, Brian Thompson, Jerry Schwartz, Gail Joyce Crawford, and Steve Teel.

Such a great meeting last night! Greta was at her finest, encouraging and eliciting our best efforts to play the lovely music that she brought! What a great way to spend an evening!
