We are an enthusiastic community of
recorder players of all ages and levels, ranging from near
beginners to advanced. Our mentor program helps less
experienced players to feel more comfortable.
RSLI playing meetings are usually held
on the 2nd Saturday of the month, September through May.
These sessions are directed by some of the finest recorder
and early music professionals in the region. We gather
around 9:30am and playing begins at 10am. There’s a short
stretch break around 11:15, and the session ends at 12:30pm.
Chapter activities provide regular
monthly playing meetings only at this time. We expect to
resume our usual full day workshop in the Fall, and weekend
workshop for advanced players in the Spring as soon as
health and safety concerns allow. RSLI has a large library
of music, music-related books, and instruments. Members can
check out items at our monthly meetings.
Our Music Director is Rachel Begley, a
highly regarded recorder player and teacher. In addition to
an active performing and teaching career, Rachel has served
as our Music Director for more than 20 years, and holds a
Doctor of Musical Arts in recorder and early music from SUNY
Stony Brook.
