Welcome! We hope you’ll join us soon in convivial music-making.
Join Us!
The East Bay Recorder Society (EBRS) is an association of recorder enthusiasts in the San Francisco Bay area. Recorder players from beginning to advanced levels are invited to join, to play music together and to learn more about the recorder with a different professional conductor each month. Please go to our "Join Us!" page for our membership form.
Headlands Weekend!
May 18-20 is our annual weekend at the beautiful Marin Headlands. Read more.
Play with us!
Monthly playing meetings are normally held on the first Friday of the month in Oakland, September through June (except bi-annually when the Berkeley Fesival is held, in which case our last playing session is May). Our next playing session (and last regular monthly session until September) is May 4th at Zion Lutheran church with Peter Maud.
