The Southern California Recorder Society is an organization for recorder enthusiasts in the greater Los Angeles area. Recorder players from beginning to advanced levels are invited to join. We meet the first Saturday of the month from September through June to play the recorder and to learn, under a different conductor each month, about renaissance and baroque music.

Now is the time to discover the joy of ensemble playing with an emphasis on Renaissance/Baroque music. The class is primarily for recorders, but we welcome other early music instruments and voice to add variety to our performances. Occasionally, we demonstrate Renaissance dance as well.
