Join us for a full weekend of music-making, inspiration and discovery. The Saltaire Recorder Weekend brings players of all levels together for three days of:

• Playing sessions led by a team of expert tutors, suitable for all ages and abilities, featuring Anna Stegmann, Annabel Knight, Chris Orton, Corina Marti, Fiona Kizzie Lee, Heidi Fardell, Laura Justice, Marg Hall & Miriam Monaghan.
• Evening concerts – Friday (featuring Heidi Fardell, Chris Orton & Annabel Knight) and Saturday (featuring Anna Stegmann & Corina Marti) – included with weekend/day tickets
• Shops – browse, try and buy from makers, shops and sheet music suppliers
• Fringe performances across the weekend
• Social gatherings and networking with fellow recorder enthusiasts

Now a firm fixture in the recorder calendar, we can’t wait for you to join us at Saltaire Recorder Weekend 2027! Whether you’re a keen amateur, a seasoned player or simply curious, you’ll find fresh ideas, new music and a warm welcome in historic Saltaire.

Our headline concert on Saturday night will feature Anna Stegmann (The Royal Wind Music, Ensemble Odyssee) & Corina Marti, performing their duo programme 'Silent Speech: Ganassi's Vision of the Human Voice'. Our informal Friday welcome concert will feature three artists returning to Saltaire Recorder Weekend – Heidi Fardell, Chris Orton & Annabel Knight, performing 'Countercanon: Women's Voices in Recorder Music'.

The main festival activities will take place in the Titus Salt School, which is just a short five-minute drive (or ten-minute walk) from The Early Music Shop’s showroom at Salts Mill.
