Paid members of the Hudson Mohawk Recorder Society receive email notices of both virtual and in-person sessions approximately one week prior to the session. The email contains a description of the upcoming program, links to the music to be used and a Zoom link for virtual mini-workshops. Participants download the music files and print them for use during the session.

We ask that anyone attending in-person sessions be fully vaccinated and boosted against COVID19. In consideration of others, if you are exhibiting any symptoms of illness we ask that you not attend. We feel so very fortunate to be able to return to in-person meetings and hope that everyone will take care to ensure that we can continue. Now that newly updated immunizations against variants of the virus are available, we encourage those who are eligible to consider another booster.
