Based in South East England,
the Berkshire Recorder Consort (BRC) was formed early in
1979. Our repertoire ranges from Early Music to
contemporary composers encompassing a wide range of musical
styles.
The members are local amateur musicians who
aim to perform to a high standard whilst enjoying a
friendly, social group.
Seven different recorders are
currently used. The smallest is the tiny Garklein,
descending in pitch and growing in size are the Sopranino,
Descant, Treble, Tenor, Bass and Great Bass. In addition to
recorders, the group features a variety of contemporary and
period instruments in their interpretation of early music.
Voice, percussion, traditional folk instruments and
improvisation all combine to give the BRC a unique style.
