Flanders Recorder Duo April 2026
April 25 Playing Meeting:
Description
Join us for “Medieval Gems,” an inspiring session with Tom Beets and Joris Van Goethem of the Flanders Recorder Duo. Step into the colorful sound world of the 14th and 15th centuries as we explore a carefully curated selection of late medieval masterpieces. From the chant-inspired polyphony of O Virgo Splendens (Libre Vermell) to the English elegance of John Dunstable’s Quam Pulchra Es, and concluding with the festive, fanfare-like energy of Propinan de Melyor, this session promises contrast, depth, and musical joy. The repertoire is suitable for various recorders (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bass), with flexible options to adapt parts to your instrument. No preparation is required — simply bring your instrument and curiosity. Of course, you’re welcome to explore the pieces in advance (because practicing is happiness!). The Zoom link will be live beginning at 1:30 pm Eastern (12:30 pm Central, 11:30 am Mountain, 10:30 am Pacific). Please join us as we will use the time to chat and use breakout rooms to get to know one another.
