Orpheus Recorder Gathering 2022

19-24 April Armidale NSW Australia

Held at The New England Conservatorium of Music

An intensive and intimate recorder course for intermediate and advanced players of all ages. Six days of technique classes, small ensemble and chamber ensemble. Each group works with a variety of world-renowned tutors. 

"What would a year be without a week in January in Armidale, dedicated to playing recorder intensively with fellow recorder addicts at the wonderful Orpheus Recorder Boutique?  Orpheus Recorder Boutiques are a very rich experience for so many of us, where we can immerse ourselves in the joys of learning, music-making and team-work, with like-minded people who quickly become lasting friends.  Orpheus Music also sells a fabulous range of recorders of all sizes, to suit every pocket, and music from the earliest times to the ultra-modern, to suit recorder players at every level, whether playing solo or in a group of any conceivable size.  A veritable treasure trove!  Thanks so much to Zana, Peter and Alexandra for their expertise and patience in providing advice and help."        (Vanessa Elwell-Gavins, Hervey Bay, QLD)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

Change of dates from January to April.

So much can change so quickly. Over a month ago we were excited to open registration for our much-anticipated recorder course, and within a week 12 million Aussies found themselves in yet another lockdown. It's so hard to predict what the situation will be in a few weeks' time, let alone a few months. 

We have looked at as many options as we can, and we've decided to postpone the Recorder Gathering until April 19-24. Our venue has been confirmed and will still be held at The New England Conservatorium of Music. We'd like to thank them for their support.

We have received many emails and comments from the Australian recorder community who dearly wish to be reunited at our annual course and we are doing are best to organize an incredible and covid-safe event.
