+ Thames Valley Recorder Orchestra

Founded 2007: ‘Now comprises some 45 of the south’s finest recorder players, playing eight different sizes of recorder. We perform a wide variety of repertoire, from original works by twenty first century composers to arrangements of music from the 13th century to the present day. In recent concert we have performed several pieces featuring guest soloists ... The minimum standard to join the orchestra is grade 6 level, although this is a nominal requirement as many recorder players haven’t taken any exams on the instrument‘.
