CGEMR Cancelled! First time in History!
It is with great reluctance and much sadness that we have decided to cancel the CGEMR. We have had at least 20 cancellations, including two of our faculty, and there will be more cancellations to come.
More importantly, we believe that we have a responsibility to join the public health effort to slow the virus down – what is being called “flatten the curve”, since the virus is past the point of containment. We recognize the near impossibility of maintaining the “social distancing” that the CDC and our Governor have recommended. Cancelling the workshop will remove the chance that we contribute to the spread of the virus in the community, and ultimately lowers the risk to medically vulnerable friends and loved ones.
We will be back in touch with you within the next two days after we have worked out the cancellation details. Meanwhile, please stay safe and healthy!!
Warmly,

Next year, imagine a long weekend filled with music-making, camaraderie, good food and a beautiful, natural setting, and you are already having dreams of attending the Columbia Gorge Early Music Retreat. Located just 20 miles east of Portland and perched on a bluff overlooking the spectacular Columbia River, Menucha is an idyllic retreat center.
Tutti session, 2016
Ensemble classes for intermediate to advanced recorder players will play from renaissance consort music to baroque and contemporary works, as well as music for double reeds and percussion. Violas da gambas are also welcome. Six faculty members ensure small class sizes with personalized attention during the day. Evening events include tutti sessions, a faculty concert, and various evening activities, such as informal consort playing.
