Join us for the 2022 Online Master Class in Recorder Playing

The Board of the Highland Park Recorder Society (HPRS) is thrilled to engage Lewis R. Baratz, Ph.D., to conduct a Master Class in Recorder Playing for all who would like to improve their playing and musicianship. Lewis Baratz is in the midst of conducting a successful Seminar Series in Early Music Performance for the HPRS for the second year, conducts the Lafayette Chamber Orchestra, and his period instrument ensemble, La Fiocco has just given a brilliant concert in PA.

Learning from watching others take a lesson is a time-honored tradition. Both participants and auditors/observers benefit.
