About the Event
Under the baton of Darryl Barron, the Melbourne Mandolin Orchestra will perform a concert of beautiful music from some of Japan's finest contemporary composers. While Australia is the home for less than ten mandolin orchestras, by comparison Japan has a large number of mandolin orchestras, mostly playing the European style of bowl-back mandolins, mandolins, mandocellos and even some mandobasses. And there are many composers in Japan composing new music for these orchestras. This concert will present some of this wonderful music from Japan.
The Melbourne Mandolin Orchestra, comprised of mandolins, mandolas, mandocello, classical guitars and double bass, is a 30-member strong community-based group with a long and rich history of performing the mandolin orchestra repertoire of traditional, classical and contemporary music in Melbourne and abroad. Our orchestra's ranks include both professional and dedicated enthusiastic amateur musicians.
