Teresa Deskur Workshop February 2026

Description

This is a NAVRS members only event. Curious to know more about the csakan and its repertoire? Discover what the recorder was really up to during its 19th century “hiatus,” and try out tunes written for this unusual instrument! We’ll explore the csakan’s history, learn about the composers who loved this “walking-stick flute,” and play a variety of Classical and Romantic era csakan music. Let’s follow what happened to the recorder as the Baroque period ended, and enjoy pieces written in a style we might not normally play! This class will be taught at A=440, and parts will be available for both C and F recorders. NOTE: All sessions begin at 7:00 PM, Eastern. The Zoom link will be live 15 minutes prior.
