A new category has been added to the IHS Online Forum."Recital Programs" is the place to post the repertoire for your recitals, whether upcoming or past. We hope that in time this category might open up some possible statistical (though unscientific) information for various age groups, etc.

To view this forum category or post a program, select "Network-->IHS Forum" from the main menu and look for the "Recital Programs" link in the child categories under "The Horn!"
