Welcome to the website of recorders@plymouth.
Recorders@plymouth is an independent
playing group for recorder players, particularly in and around Plymouth although many come from
further afield. We meet on the first Saturday of each month (except February) and have a full
programme of recorder playing days and events throughout the year. We usually have between
twenty and thirty players at each meeting and a full range of instruments from Sopranino to Contra
Bass. We are not able to accept beginners or descant only players. Some of the music we play has no
descant part and when there is a descant part we only have 2 players at a time and when you have
played descant on one piece of music you need to move to another part to give others the opportunity
to play descant. If you would like to come and see if the group is suitable for you just bring your
recorders and a music stand. All music is provided by the conductor on the day, usually
involving a wide variety of genres from Medieval to Minimalism. Tea, coffee and cake is available for a voluntary contribution.
