The St. Louis Recorder Society
Recorder and Early Music Concerts and Events
The greater St. Louis area has a growing early music community. It now boasts two professional early music ensembles--The Kingsbury Ensemble and Early Music St. Louis (EMSL)
--that present concert series at venues throughout the area using historically correct instruments and performance practices. And the formation of St. Louis Baroque, St. Louis' own baroque orchestra, is an exciting new development.
Several other concert series also include early music events from time to time. And of course the St. Louis Recorder Society has a variety of activities throughout the year.
