The mandolin, known for its contributions to bluegrass or classical music, is capable of so much more!  Paired with our natural plucked string partner, the guitar, we’ll explore some offerings from the mandolin’s extensive repertoire. Elaine Kelly, Harvey Linnen, Susan McLaughlin, Ed Rodger, Desiree Veitenheimer, and Brenda Yu will play a mix of light pop, jazz, folk, and turn-of-the last century music on mandolins, octave mandolin, and guitars.

The “Quartet of 6” are all members of a much larger group, the Regina Mandolin Orchestra, which was founded in 1988.  We enjoy the small ensemble format as it allows us to explore a wider range of repertoire.

The Regina Mandolin Orchestra (RMO) is a dynamic, non-professional orchestra creating a plucked string sound that is unique in Saskatchewan. The orchestra is comprised of approximately 40 musicians, primarily playing mandolin, mandola, octave mandolin, and mandocello. Their instrumentation includes other string instruments (guitars, violins, bouzouki, double bass), as well as flutes and some percussion. They have been entertaining, enriching and educating audiences for 37 years, and the group has continuously evolved over that time.
