Welcome

Woodpeckers are a dynamic group of virtuoso recorder players who share a common interest in performing and promoting both very old and very new music for their instrument. Their aim is to present the recorder as an important concert instrument of our times. At the forefront of Woodpeckers’ ideology is the drive to kick the age-old image of the recorder being merely a stepping-stone to something else, and they are intent on spreading their knowledge far and wide, be it through videos, recordings, workshops, teaching, research, and of course, live concerts.

Debut Album 2023 with LAWO Classics

 

Woodpeckers Recorder Quartet is generously funded by: 

William Demant Fonden, Helge Ax:son Johnsons stiftelse, Kiruna Kommun, Region Norrbotten, Statens Kunstfond, Solistforeningen af 1921, Kulturdirektoratet and Swedish Arts Council (Kulturrådet)

Today we are celebrating Early Music Day, and according to the old style Julian calendar it’s also Bach’s birthday! This Fugue by Bach over a theme by Corelli BWV 579, was recorded in Copenhagen’s oldest building, Helligåndshuset, which was built in the late 13th century.
