Who Can Join BRRS?

The Baton Rouge Recorder Society has members of varying ages, personal backgrounds, musical backgrounds and skills. We invite anyone interested in the recorder or early music to join us!

BRRS Membership Benefits

There are two different memberships associated with the Baton Rouge Recorder Society (BRRS). The first is with the local BRRS chapter, and the second membership is with the National American Recorder Society (ARS). They are both great memberships to have if you want to be a part of the early music and recorder experience. You do not have to be a member of the ARS to become a member of the local BRRS.
