In 2003, Orpheus Music is proud to present Gatherings are on the Move with a theme of Rhythm and the Recorder.
The first Grand Musical Gathering was held in Armidale, NSW in 1994 and began a tradition of high quality Recorder workshops.
Gatherings since then have been intensive workshops of 2-4 days duration with enrolments of 80-150 people.
These annual events laid the foundation for the major international Festival The Call of the Four Winds held in January 2000, organised by Zana Clarke and Caroline Downer.
