Belper Recorder Players

We are a friendly group of adult recorder players who meet regularly in Belper on two Saturday mornings a month to improve our playing and have fun. We employ a Musical Director and give performances at local arts festivals and hospitals two or three times a year. In recent years we have played at the West Hallam well-dressings festival in the summer and at the Christchurch Christmas tree festival fayre.

Our repertoire covers a very wide range from Early and Baroque music to the Beatles and more modern compositions and we play recorders ranging in size from the tiny garklein to the Great Bass.

Potential new members are welcome to come along and try us out for two half-price sessions – our standard is intermediate so this group is not suitable for beginner players. On joining the group there is a quarterly fee. Our group is affiliated to the Society of Recorder Players to benefit from insurance cover and training opportunities.

We offer occasional workshops either purely for our group members or opening them up to non-members who’d like to join us for a day.

If you’re interested in joining us, please contact: gbatey07@gmail.com for details of upcoming sessions.
