It has been a minute since we took this photo. Actually, it was last fall at Golden Antiques on North Highway 220. The above group is known as the Loose Cannons and it was lovely to listen to them while shopping. Formerly, the group was known as Tuesday Tunes; this was their first performance under their new name. The group is part of The Early Music Society which is a non-profit group dedicated to playing music from the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque eras. They use early music instruments like recorders, percussion, and string instruments. Notice these talented musicians have made special masks to be as COVID safe as possible!
According to the Facebook page of the Triad Early Music Society, they are part of the American Recorder Society, which is based in Charlotte, NC. You can see many sizes of recorders in the above photo. Members have performed at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. It was enjoyable not only to listen to this group, but also to learn about them. There are so many interesting opportunities in Greensboro and stumbling upon this group led to learning about their affiliate groups. From the Loose Cannons to the Tuesday Tunes to the Early Music Society to the American Recorder Society, that is quite a rabbit hole of musical adventure; a journey all brought about by getting out and exploring our community- something we try to do regularly.
Happy Thursday, a great day to start planning the weekend. Don't forget Monday is Martin Luther King, Jr Day.
Rare to have an early instruments dedicated group.
