Seattle Recorder Society (SRS) welcomes recorder and viol players and other early musicians (both new players and experienced) to attend monthly meetings for group playing, performances by local artists, refreshments, and conversation.
We generally meet the first Friday evening of the month at 7 p.m. (Occasionally we meet on the second Friday evening.) Recorders of all sizes are represented, from Sopranino to Contra Bass. We enjoy traditional music written for the recorder from the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque eras, music from contemporary composers and everything in between. Please visit the Meetings & Members page for additional details and dates for our meetings.
SRS is an affiliate chapter of the American Recorder Society.
Covid restrictions and other health protocols
We offer a hybrid playing experience, with many players in person and others joining on Zoom. If you are testing positive for COVID, experiencing Covid symptoms, or are otherwise feeling unwell, please use our Zoom option. See our current health protocols for details.

Next meeting
Our next playing session will be on Friday evening, October 4 at 7 pm. The session will take place at Faith Lutheran Church, 8208 18th Ave N.E., Seattle. Vicki will lead us through music of a “light-hearted, folksy character” by composers ranging from Flötner (1540) through Purcell, to modern film composer Hisaishi.
As usual, Laura Townsend will be directing the Back Room Gang for those desiring a smaller group setting with simpler music and slower tempos. Contact Laura (beginbaroque@gmail.com) if you want BRG music ahead of time.
