The Atlanta Recorder Society’s mission is to promote recorder playing in the metro Atlanta area through information about upcoming events, opportunities for group playing, connecting recorder players in the area, concerts, workshops, and other opportunities.
We meet ten times a year, usually on the 3rd Sunday of the month, for a 2 hour playing session. Half are in person, the other half are virtual. In-person playing sessions are held at Morningside Presbyterian Church, Room 107, located at 1411 North Morningside Dr, Atlanta, GA 30306, from 3:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m ET. Virtual meetings are held on Zoom, and links sent out to members with the music in advance. Please print your own music from the pdfs sent out, and bring your own instrument(s) and music stand. Contact us in advance about borrowing instruments. In-person playing sessions are also streamed via Zoom to members.
