Peregrine was founded in 1985 by Ian Farquhar, and is therefore the UK's third-longest-established recorder orchestra. It is based in the village of Ickwell, near Biggleswade in Bedfordshire. As a registered charity itself, one of Peregrine's aims is to assist other charities - often small, local ones - to raise funds.
Our other aim, apart from enjoying ourselves of course, is to promote the understanding and appreciation of our much-maligned instrument! We do this in two ways; staging two or three concerts per year, and running a series of school visits in the local area.
