Our 2023 TRS spring workshop was a success! Thanks to attendee Toby Speed for this great write up:
Mediterranean Holiday with the Triangle Recorder Society
Music from France, Spain, and Italy filled the high-ceilinged rooms of the First Presbyterian Church in Durham, NC, on April 15th as the Triangle Recorder Society (TRS) welcomed back its annual early music workshop. TRS’s signature offering has been held for more than a quarter of a century with a break only in the last two years for COVID. This year’s theme, Mediterranean Holiday, attracted 25 attendees from the Triangle and beyond as well as an elite faculty of seven recorder professionals.
Our tour guides for the musical journey through Southern Europe were Stewart Carter, Phil Hollar, Holly Maurer, Patricia Petersen, Kathy Schenley, Jennifer Streeter, and Douglas Young. Small-group workshops were presented for all levels throughout the day.
Topics for those sessions included beginning consort playing, ornamentation, menuets from King Louis XIV’s dance parties, antiphonal music of the Venetian composers, the rhythms of Spanish dance, and one-line melodies with improvised drones, percussion, and voice. Besides recorder, many of the workshops welcomed voices, strings, and early reeds and brass, which made for some very fun ensemble playing. A session on loud Renaissance band music, for instance, featured cornettos, crumhorns, sackbuts, and more.
The highlight of the day was an inspiring group playing session in the main room for all musicians. It perfectly capped the uplifting nature of the day and marked a welcome return to in-person ensemble playing.
Mediterranean Holiday now joins the archives of Spring Workshops in TRS’s history that have covered such territory as North Sea Odyssey, French Connection, A Musical Brexit, March Musical Madness, Northern Lights, Saints and Sinners, and Viva Petrucci!
TRS has been in existence since 1967 and meets on the third Sunday of each month at rotating locations throughout the Triangle. All skill levels are welcome, and the first meeting is free.
