Welcome

The Princeton Recorder Society promotes the appreciation of the recorder as a musical instrument through performance and instruction. With over fifty members, we hold monthly meetings from September through May as well as an annual spring workshop, all coached by leading professionals.

Come play with us! We welcome all playing levels! We invite first time visitors to sit in with us for free. Thereafter, we ask for $5 to help cover our costs.

If you like what you see (and hear), please consider becoming a member. Membership benefits include monthly meetings conducted by experts, newsletters, discounted annual workshop fee, and access to the extensive PRS music library. Dues are $20 individual/$25 couples per year; American Recorder Society membership is required at an additional $45 per year. Contact an officer for more information.

PRS summertime tip #1: while waiting for our 2009-2010 season to start up again in the fall, check out Recorder Radio.com. They play all kinds of recorder music, from baroque to modern, and it's all free. The page itself is also all in German, but even if you don't sprechen sie Deutsch, you can listen by clicking on the logo of any music player that you have installed on your computer: WinAmp, RealPlayer, iTunes, Windows Media Player. Have fun listening, and keep practicing!

PRS summertime tip #2: WWFM, The Classical Network offers an FM broadcast in the PRS area as well as the chance to listen on-line. They play recorder music occasionally. The instrument is most often featured on Distant Mirror with Allan Kelly, heard on WWFM each Friday night from 10:00 until midnight. Archived recordings of the show are available as webcasts.
