Welcome Recorder Players of all ages and abilities!

The Chicago Recorder Society, a chapter of the American Recorder Society, works to enhance the knowledge, appreciation, and playing of recorders and recorder music in the greater Chicago area. Our monthly meetings are usually held 2-5pm on the third Sunday, September thru May, at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 3857 N Kostner Ave, Chicago.  Guests are always welcome and free to attend our meetings and playing sessions. 

Check our Meetings & Events page for meeting details, read our latest newsletter, and visit our Facebook and YouTube pages to see what we’ve been up to.
