The first sightreading session of the year will take place on Thursday, September 20 at 7 PM at the Ecole de Musique Vincent d'Indy. Sophie Larivière will direct. Members and nonmembers are both welcome, though nonmembers must pay $15. Players of the level of Harmonia (Intermediate II) and higher are welcome.
The forty or so participants at the Welcome Cocktail on August 29 enjoyed a very interesting discussion between the five directors of the practice groups on this subject. Here are the main points of the discussion.
You are invited to the Recorder Rendezvous on September 30!
In collaboration with the Montreal Recorder Society, Flûte Alors! presents a day for adult recorder players of all levels. Spend the day with the four members of Flûte Alors! and discover the many sounds and expressive possibilities offered by this wonderful instrument.
On the schedule: interpretation workshops, sight reading workshops, an introduction to beginning recorder, and a teleconference with special guest Sarah Jeffery of Team Recorder entitled "Be the best recorder player you can be! Getting the most from your practice time." The event culminates in a concert by Flûte Alors! in which the participants will also be invited to play!

Members of the Montreal Recorder Society receive a special discount. And, if you bring a beginner to the afternoon introductory workshop, you will receive a further discount!
Can't decide which group to join? Want to experience playing with two different musical directors? Harmonia and en Suite are not on the same evening, and neither are en Suite and La Follia. As always, Flutissimo is on Tuesday evenings, so there are no conflicts with the other practice groups. See the calendar for more details.
Come join us to play the recorder! The sightreadings have been organized, music is being photocopied, our musical directors are excited about the upcoming season...whether you'd like to start playing or are quite experienced, the Montreal Recorder Society is looking forward to having you join.
