Support the Mission of the Highland Park Recorder Society by Making a Donation
The Highland Park Recorder Society’s mission is to cultivate and foster a love and appreciation of the art, history, literature, and uses of the recorder, and to raise the level of proficiency in its performance. The Society showcases music of the Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, and commissions new music from early career composers.
We work to strengthen the early music community and to enhance public awareness of the riches and beauty of early music. Musica Dolce, a Baroque outreach ensemble of the Society, performs Baroque music to lift the spirit.
By donating to the Highland Park Recorder Society, you make your voice heard in support of early music. You support our bringing to life music of the great masters. You support our enhancing public awareness of the beauty of music for recorders, strings and harpsichord.
Musica Dolce performed during the last thirteen years with the Guild for Early Music at the Grounds for Sculpture, in Hamilton, New Jersey, reaching a wider community. The Society reaches young and old. From 2017-2019 the Society’s president, Donna Messer, gave performances for seniors in their residence in Summit, NJ, and did numerous interactive music presentations for young children, reaching over 1,000 Pre-K students and their teachers in the City of Elizabeth, NJ.
