Give your playing a boost by attending the upcoming Midwinter Workshop in Atlanta, January 20-22.

This workshop will have a few lower intermediate classes for recorder players, so do spread the word to anyone who may tend to avoid workshops because the music may be too hard. Otherwise, the workshop is appropriate for all the instruments listed above at intermediate level or higher.
Local recorder ensemble Flauto Dolce played at RDU, terminal 1, ticketing, on Friday, December 30! FYI, Kay Bailey no longer conducts her Bransler group, so Flauto Dolce invited Bransler players to join them. So three of the players here had never played at the airport before and they were pleased with our reception by travelers...we all were! - Jan Jenkins

Music for Play-the-Recorder 2023
March is Play-the-Recorder Month, and the 2023 Play-the-Recorder-Month (PtRM) preparations are well under way. The ARS is again planning to make the most of the month with a challenging project that we can all enjoy together. Members can find the piece composed for this occasion, "Quo Vadis?" by Victor Eijkhout, in print with the magazine. It can also be found online via the PtRM and Music Libraries pages, where there are play-along tracks as well as videos so you can learn the piece on your own.
