About the Twin Cities Recorder Guild (TCRG)

The Twin Cities Recorder Guild (TCRG), based in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, is a chapter of the American Recorder Society. It is a non-profit organization with the goal of supporting and encouraging recorder playing in our community. We provide opportunities for members to play together and to learn more about recorder playing, and we share recorder and early music with the community through performances, workshops, and a newsletter.

We have monthly meetings  (September - May) for recorder players of all ages and levels; they include group playing, a presentation by our music director or guest, socializing, and an opportunity to buy music and instruments. We meet at the same time and place as the North Star Viols and often share activities.

We produce a newsletter, maintain a lending library of recorder music & instruments, and sponsor recorder and early music workshops and performances.


Next Meeting :
Sunday, April 20, 2008
2 - 5 pm
Olivet Congregational Church
St. Paul, Minnesota

At the beginning of the April meeting we will have the next in our series of performances by small consorts, this time the Silver Swan Consort, a consort of viols. The performance will start promptly at 2:00 p.m.!

Then we will take a look at a Concerto for Five Tenors, a Sonata for Three Altos, and the brand new Air from this latest issue of The AmericanRecorder. We will also take a brief look at the program for our performance on May 3rd. Red-tailed hawks and snow buntings may make an appearance, as well.
