We meet on Tuesdays at 7:45 pm, at 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA. Let me know if you want to come.

The Boston Recorder Society Loud Band will be meeting again this year at Leslie College on mostly second Sundays of the month.

It was originally for early reed and brass instruments, but is now using the term “loud winds” very loosely. We expect a viiolin this year; there’s a recorder player who likes us better than what the recorders were doing even when they were doing anything; there are loud wintd players who don’t have the lip muscles to play all evening so they switch to recorders.

So if you’re interested, you should let Linda Kush know. If you want more information, ask me, Linda, John Maloney, or any of the other recent participants.
