Update
Postponement
It is with great sadness that we have decided to postpone Melbourne Recorder Academy workshops and concerts for the foreseeable future.
In light of ongoing developments following the announcement of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have come to the conclusion that the safety of our patrons and students is paramount.
We are really sad because as we had some wonderful projects lined up for recorder players in Victoria, but we will endeavour to deliever our workshops and concerts in the future.
In the meantime, we hope you are finding comfort in music and we look forward to seeing you in the future when it is safe again.
All the best,
The Recorder Co-op

MRA brings talented young recorder players together in ensembles to make music at the highest possible level.
We aim to create an inspiring community and music making opportunities for young recorder players, lead by professional musicians. Our hope is that the MRA ensembles, concerts, website and teaching will provide an avenue for recorder players and teachers to form a supportive network of resources and collaboration, adding to the already vibrant recorder teaching occurring in many corners of Australia.
The MRA is a project of The Recorder Co-op which is generously funded by the DCMT and VRG. Check out the website to find out more.
