In 1999, Richard Geisler, Dir. of the Village & Early Music Society of Nevada County, California & founder/conductor of the
American Recorder Orchestra of the West
(AROW) began to research and contact leaders of large recorder ensembles around the world.
These ensembles employ the entire family of recorders from sopranino to contrabass and have rehearsed and performed instrumental and/or choral works in formal concert to public audiences in their communities.
Geisler updated the original research and resulting document in the fall, 2004, by adding several more recorder orchestras, most of which were founded between 2000 and 2004, particularly in England and the United States.
