Northern Virginia Recorder Society

NVRS is a chapter of the American Recorder Society.  We get together to play music on recorders and related instruments.  The music ranges from medieval to contemporary.  Our skill levels range from beginner to advanced.  We meet about twice a month, and occasionally perform in public.  You're welcome to join us.

We meet on Sunday evenings of each month — please check the calendar for the exact dates. We play from 6:30-8:30 P.M. Emmaus United Church of Christ, 900 Maple Ave East, Vienna, VA. (This is the new address) Rehearsal is in the Fellowship Hall. 

See the map at the top of the pagw. There are three buildings on the Emmaus campus. We play in the left building. Park in the lot on the left.

For more information, please email Ed Friedler, President of NVRS, at friedlerfam@gmail.com.

Here are links to mp3 files of our 25th Anniversary Concert.  (The files are huge — about 110 megabytes total — so you probably don't want to do this with a slow or metered Internet connection.)
