Thank you to all who braved the weather to attend our May 2011 meeting with Paul Leenhouts! See more pictures under the “Pictures”tab of our evening with Paul.
Welcome to the Dallas Recorder Society (DRS),a chapter of the American Recorder Society (ARS)! We are a group of recorder players from the Dallas/Fort Worth area who support the missions of the National ARS to:
- Promote the recorder and its music by developing resources and standards to help people of all ages and ability levels to play and study recorder
- Present the instrument to new constituencies
- Encourage increased career opportunities for professional performers and teachers
- Enable and support recorder playing as a shared social experience
The group promotes interest in the recorder and its music,both early and modern,while giving players an opportunity to meet other players and make music together. Legally,we operate as an unincorporated 501 (c)(7) association.
