Notes on the Ensemble
The Manhattan
Recorder Orchestra (MRO), conducted
by Matthias Maute, made its debut in January 2004 at St.
John's in the Village Episcopal Church in Greenwich Village. Since then, MRO has presented numerous concerts, performed
at the Montreal Recorder Festival, and participated in the
first New York Early Music Celebration in 2004. Using
instruments that range from the tiny sopranino to the sub-contrabass,
the orchestra plays a repertoire that includes early music
as well as arrangements of classical, romantic, twentieth
century and new music, with an emphasis on works composed
for recorder orchestra.
