* If you will be attending the Festival, please include this event in your plans. However, if you aren't able to attend the Breakfast in person, another member of your group is welcome as your delegate. Please reply so that we can accommodate those who would like to participate. At the meeting, you will meet some of the ARS Board members, the ARS Director and other CCRO representatives. Some of the items on our breakfast "menu" will be:
 
  • What can the ARS do for your member organization?
  • How can the ARS better serve our recorder community at large?
  • Planned ARS activities and goals for the upcoming year
The ARS strives to be the finest resource on the continent for recorder players and teachers and can best accomplish this with your participation and input.

FESTIVAL AND EXHIBITION INFORMATION:

The Festival begins on Sunday, June 3 and runs through Sunday, June 10, and the ARS will be there! We will have a booth at the Exhibition and Marketplace from June 8 to June 10 where our Administrative Director Susan Burns and other representatives will be present with information about the recorder, live demonstrations and possible playing sessions, as well as free 10-minute lessons for anyone who purchases a recorder of any type from Bill Lazar's Early Music booth (close to the ARS table) or Prescott Recorders.

Here is a link to the BFX website, where you can see the listings of concerts and other events, purchase tickets, and get a preview of the Exhibition: http://www.berkeleyfestival.org/

The Festival promises to be musically very rich and satisfying. Among the many star-studded performances, there are a few which feature recorders, notably, the ARS Recorder Relay on Saturday morning (June 10 at 9:30 AM), which is an outstanding performance by pre-professional recorder players.

Please let us know if you can attend. We hope to see you there!
