The Phoenix Recorder Orchestra was formed at the end of 2003. Our members come from as far afield as Chipping Norton, Abergavenny, Plymouth and Chichester.

We explore the recorder orchestra repertoire, from the 12th century right up to the present day. We use the entire range of  recorders, from the tiny 6" garklein to the gigantic 6' contrabass, and this gives a rich and beautiful sound.

The orchestra's conductor is Pam Smith, who is well known throughout the country as an inspirational and dynamic leader of recorder ensembles.

Membership of the orchestra is currently by invitation, but if you would like to find out more about it please  

Our next concert, of Christmas music, will be for the Witney Music Society on Friday 12th December at Witney, near Oxford. Once available, more details will be here
