Gather together with members of the Hudson Mohawk Recorder Society for an enjoyable playing session. We will work with pieces from our season playbook. Our playbook contains selected pieces introduced by coaches from past virtual mini-workshops and a few old favorites drawn from the chapter library. Members will receive an email update with links for downloading the music you need to print and bring with you. Kathy Kuhrt, our Music Director will lead the session. In-person sessions provide an excellent opportunity to continue to polish familiar tunes and perhaps introduce yourself to some new ones. Our playing sessions are held in the Fellowship Center of the Lynnwood Reformed Church, located at 3714 Carman Road, Schenectady, NY 12303 (Town of Guilderland). Doors open at 1:30 pm.
As we have entered the season of snow and ice, check the web site and/or look for an email message regarding weather condition cancellation. We will try to decide on cancellation of a Sunday session by 5pm on the Saturday before the event.
