Welcome to our celebration of the recorder with Pink Noise Recorder Quintet and Baroque and Beyond.
RECORDER: THE NEW FRONTIER – Workshop
10:30-12:00
Excited by modern recorder music, but unsure how to create all those challenging sound effects? Let Pink Noise help: In this workshop we will guide you through the basics of the more common extended techniques (including flutter-tonguing, sputato, and glissando), and get you working on a piece you can help us play in our lunchtime concert (if you want to). Aimed at players of a reasonable standard, you should be able to read music and count to time. Bring whatever sizes of recorder you have available.

Tickets available on the door or in advance from Eventbrite. Meet Pink Noise on Facebook.
THOROUGHLY MODERN – Concert
13:15-14:15
Pink Noise give a whistlestop tour of some of the gems in the modern recorder repertoire.You will hear everything from jazz to African-inspired rhythms, high energy takes on modern pop music to sonorous renditions of Bruckner and Pärt. Participants in the morning workshop will be invited to perform alongside Pink Noise, and there will be an opportunity for kids (small and large!) to try out instruments and ask questions after the performance.
