Schedule

 Next Meeting - October 11

The next GKRS meeting will be Saturday, October 11, 2025,10:00 am-12 at First Presbyterian Church, 620 State Street in downtown Knoxville. Someone will be at the door to let you in. Park free in the church lot. Directions to the church https://www.fpcknox.

Please let Robin know by early Wednesday, October 8 whether you’re coming. If you are already on the mailing, she needs to know if you need a printed copy of the music. If you're not yet on the mailing list, she needs your contact information in order to send you music files.

It is also important to know who is coming so the person who lets us in can leave the door when the last person on the list has arrived. Please arrive in time to be ready to play at 10:00. Robin's cell is 865-804-5867 if you need to contact us.

BIG NEWS: A new director; a new meeting room. Starting this month Scott Scheetz will be directing our group. He is the organist and choral director at First Presbyterian Church where we meet, and has an interest in early music. 

We're moving to the music rehearsal room on the 4th floor. Scott feels it has better acoustics. It is directly above the James Park room; just 2 floors above. THERE IS AN ELEVATOR.

Special message from Robin: I have been directing on a volunteer basis. I can tell you that it takes hours of preparation before a session. Scott is going to provide us with professional level services and we need to pay him as such. I’m excited for the opportunity to progress in our playing, with new energy in early music in the greater Knoxville area.

We are asking for donations of $15.00 per person per session. We never want finances to get in the way of anyone who wants to participate, so we have scholarship money available to cover you if needed. Just let Robin or Pam know. 

If you have different sizes/types of instruments, bring them all! Any early instruments are welcome, not just recorders. Thanks to First Presbyterian for providing a free space to meet. Don't forget your music stand and a pencil.

Hope to see you Saturday!
