After 3 years, the North Carolina HIP Music Festival returns!
Mallarmé Music hosts the North Carolina HIP (Historically Informed Performance) Festival to showcase Renaissance, Baroque and Classical era music performed on period instruments with historical performance practices.
While shows including Bridgerton and The Great have inspired an interest in historical music, festival attendees can explore the carefully curated music of the past brought to life by world-class musicians. Drawing from the wealth of outstanding early music ensembles based in North Carolina and beyond, the North Carolina HIP Festival will showcase over 60 musicians from eight different organizations in 17 events.

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.
ARS Membership Renewal Update: Autopay now available!
Up to now, each member has had to remember to log in to the ARS website or write a check to renew every year. ARS now offers an autopay option where your membership will renew automatically. This must be enabled by the member at renewal time -- it won't happen automatically. Contact us with any questions.
