Russ Smith, Neighbor

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17 - PROVIDENCE MANDOLIN ORCHESTRA
3 pm, doors open 2:30 pm
$15, $12 for seniors, $6 for students and children

The Providence Mandolin Orchestra was founded in 1971. The group carries on an American musical tradition which dates back to the 1880's, when a group of Spanish bandurria players toured the United States and began a craze for mandolin and guitar music that rivaled the popularity of rock and roll today. 

The PMO has become one of the leading American mandolin ensembles, with regular appearances throughout the eastern United States and Canada. The Orchestra  has also performed at festivals and concerts in Germany, Luxembourg, and France. With well over two hundred pieces in its repertoire, the PMO features a wide range of musical styles from Renaissance dances to Baroque concertos, from turn-of-the-century nostalgia to avant garde expressions.
