The Recorder Co-op is a recorder ensemble made up of some of Australia's most well-known recorder players, including Hannah Coleman, Ruth Wilkinson, Ryan Williams and Alexandra Bailliet-Joly. The ensemble specialises in performing renaissance and contemporary repertoire on a matched set of consort recorders based on historical models by Danish maker Ture Bergstrøm, the only set of its kind in Australia. They commission Australian composers to write for their unique sound and their concerts reflect a blend of old and new repertoire.
They have performed extensively including at the Ballarat Festival of Organ and Fine Music, Port Fairy Spring Music Festival, Melbourne Conservatorium Lunch Hour series, Daylesford Christ Church Concerts Music Festival, the Trinity Lecture series, and the Lyrebird Music Society concerts series. As well as their own concerts, The Recorder Co-op is committed to collaboration with chamber ensembles and composers; seeking new sounds and performance contexts for their instrument. They have worked with composers; Ros Bandt, Alice Humphries, Claire Cross, Holly Moore, & Ryan Williams to develop new works for renaissance recorder consort, and have collaborated with ensembles; Consortium - Melbourne’s Consort of Viols, and Auncient Hermony.
They run community music workshops together, and share their passion for their instrument with young people through the Melbourne Recorder Academy. The Academy aims to create an inspiring recorder community for young recorder players by providing them with workshops and ensemble performance opportunities.
