This mandolin orchestra with a large fanbase presents a very special ensemble concert that showcases the uniquely transparent sound of the mandolin.
The 3-part program this time features a selection of famous pieces for mandolin orchestra and other familiar melodies.
Part 1: Famous pieces for mandolin orchestra
For this part, the orchestra selected a number of original pieces made for the characteristically transparent sound of the mandolin, a musical instrument born in Italy. The instrument itself is also explained in depth, to communicate its appeal even more profoundly.
Part 2: Mandolin & guitar ensemble
This part features a selection of chamber music and other delicate tunes, performed by a rather small ensemble.
Part 3: Full orchestra performance of familiar tunes from around the world, arranged for mandolin and guitar.
This is the Urawa Guitar Mandolin Club in full swing!
