“The Colorado Recorder Orchestra was formed in summer 2004, and had its debut performance at the Early Music Colorado “Fall Festival of Early Music” in October, 2004. In 2005 and 2006 there have been many performances in the Denver area and surrounding communities, and an appearance at the EMC “Fall Festival of Early Music” in October 2005.

The orchestra was organized by leaders from three Colorado chapters of the American Recorder Society who have formed the governing board for the orchestra.

Players, board members, and the director all volunteer their time for the recorder orchestra. ..“
