MANDOLINS OF THE WORLD Concert this sunday

[Beyond the Pale]

If you love the mandolin, especially bluegrass and its derivatives, DO NOT miss the Mandolins of the World show coming up this Sunday May 9, 3pm in Hamilton, at Hamilton Place Studio Theatre . This is the second edition of an ongoing concert series devoted to the mandolin. This show will feature the Creaking Tree String Quartet (bluegrass, newgrass), Ken Whiteley Trio (blues, folk, swing, gospel), Matapat (Quebecois folk and world music), and the 40-piece Toronto Mandolin Orchestra (Canadian & American Orchestral), with guest soloist Tamara Volskaya, an astounding virtuoso on the Domra (the Ukrainian version of the mandolin). I assure, you have not lived until you've heard a 40-piece mandolin orchestra! And the show will feature a stunning performance of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue arranged for solo domra and mandolin orchestra. It's also a great activity for Mother's Day.
