TRS Recital Time!

Sunday, May 21
in Durham
 

Performers please email Jennifer by Wednesday to let her know your pieces. (see info below)
 

Join us for the annual TRS Recital on May 21 at 3:00 pm at Croasdaile Village, Ponder Auditorium 

Performers may include solos, groups, all levels, and various instruments. Don’t be shy about participating! We all enjoy the sounds of recorders and appreciate the range of skills that we bring together. If you or your group plan to play, please sign up by emailing Jennifer Streeter (jasharpsichord@yahoo.com) by Wednesday, May 17 with the information requested below.

Small groups are welcome to start practicing at 2:15, and we will all join to practice group finale pieces promptly at 2:35.  Everyone should be finished with their warm-ups by then so they can join the group. For our tutti ending pieces people should practice It was a lover and his lass, p 40-41 (SA8TB) and Satyr's Dance, p 60-61 (SA8ATB)
 
Invite your friends and families to join us! The concert is free, informal, and open to the public. We will have a reception afterwards, so TRS members please bring finger foods for sharing.
 
As a courtesy, please do not leave after you play (unless absolutely necessary).  Stay and enjoy everyone's performance!

Share your skills with kids

Durham County Library, Shannon Road branch, is interested in promoting a recorder class for children. This is a great opportunity to promote the recorder to the next generation. They have asked TRS to facilitate this class. We could introduce enough information so the kids could read several notes and play together. 

Although the schedule is not set, classes would start this fall and run once a week for six to eight weeks. Classes would start at about 4:00 p.m.on weekdays or on Saturdays at 1:30 p.m. Each class would last about 45 minutes. So volunteers would need to commit to any one class or as many as possible. Ideally, we should provide two volunteers per class.

Let's get the next generation hooked on recorders and with your help, we can. Let Jan know if you're interested: janjenkins826@gmail.com.
