Join Us!
The East Bay Recorder Society (EBRS) is an association of recorder enthusiasts in the San Francisco Bay area. Recorder players from beginning to advanced levels are invited to join, to play music together and to learn more about the recorder with a different professional conductor each month (September-May or June).
Our new season began with a playing session Sept. 5, 2025 at Zion begining at 7:30pm conducted by Tish Berlin and will now continue with a playing session at Hillside church beginning at 10am Saturday conducted by Derek Tam.
Our 2025/2026 season membership form is now downloadable as a pdf from our "Join Us!" page. Joining us is easy. But if you wish to attend for a first time as a non-member, it is free, with a $10 charge for additional monthly or special meetings thereafter until you join).

We continue to be requiring at-home Covid testing the day of the playing, and if possible, asking that you bring your NEGATIVE test to the event in a zipped baggie, or a date-stamped photo otherwise. Of course, positive tests STAY HOME, as well as if you have symptoms of any illness.
(Since music is not provided at the playing sessions but rather is sent in advance as pdf's to members, you would need to contact us to arrange to have the music sent to you if you are not a member. Please see our "Contact" page.)
Our new season of 2025/2026 will include a Fall Workshop Oct. 13th, a "12th Night" playing session with a potluck after Jan. 4th, and a Members' Recital March 28th. Go to our "Special Events" page for more details.
