    Thanks! Looks like a great program! An excellent reason for a road trip from Philly to Baltimore.

The band of six musicians includes John Reischman. Extensive notes plus program and artist bios here:

    Yesterday I was delighted to attend a performance shared by the New American Mandolin Ensemble and the Munier Mandolin Orchestra in the environs of Philadelphia; among the works performed was my Concerto a pizzico, with David Miller of NAME as soloist. David and the two ensembles joined hands in the happiest American premiere of this piece I could have ever wished for.

    This was also my very first opportunity to hear NAME in live performance, and I must say that it's truly not to be missed. If you ever have a chance to attend one of their performances, please do; you will have me to thank for the hint. Good stuff...

    Three cheers to NAME, Munier, and David!

    Wonderful
    I had the pleasure to play with the Munier orchestra in 1985 and 1986 when I was the Director of the Folklife Center of Philadelphia
    Wonderful folks and a great experience. I brought them to a major Ohio folk festival a few years after that. How quickly time goes.

    Victor, We were so pleased to see you at our concert, and delighted to be able to perform your 'Concerto da Camera' for you. It is a wonderful piece which deserves more exposure (well, we're working on that!). On the recent NAME Mid-Atlantic States Mini-Tour we performed the piece thrice -once in New Market, MD, at our NAME concert (the US premiere ), once in Haddonfield, NJ, with the Philadelphia Mandolin and Guitar Ensemble, and again in Wallingford, PA with the Munier Mandolin Orchestra (which you attended). This is a piece which could be performed by many mandolin orchestras - of course they would have to find a soloist (we know one!).
    Thank you for once again providing the mandolin world with a top-notch piece of repertoire!
    Mark

    Ah, a senior moment of mine: Concerto da camera, not a pizzico. Sorry, sorry... or perhaps I can excuse myself by the multitude of pieces I've written.

    Hello, all.

    I attended an earlier performance of my Concerto da camera by the very same soloist and ensemble, so I can heartily and enthusiastically recommend them. As I just got back from another, this time family-related escapade from work, I unfortunately will not be able to attend this performance, for as much as I might have liked to. David and the PMO really make my score sing...

    Cheers,

    Victor

    "I attended an earlier performance of my Concerto da camera by the very same soloist and ensemble, so I can heartily and enthusiastically recommend them."

    Hi Victor -- you heard David Miller as soloist with the Munier Mandolin and Guitar Orchestra plus NAME, so not the same ensemble. But I can assure everyone that the piece sounds great with David and the PMO! Also, I will soon post information about two additional upcoming performances of the Concerto de Camera, again with David Miller as soloist, accompanied by the other members of NAME.

    Very true; my apologies. It was the complex, Venn-diagram-like overlap of friendly faces that tripped me up. I, too, have no doubt that David and the PMO are a great mix, and kick myself doubly for missing this performance. I do look forward to othersm though...

    This update was meant to go with an earlier post. I forgot to quote. Anyway you will find the information in Bill's thread.

These three excellent musicians made us fascinated from the beginning until the end and more, regarding the enthousiast reaction of the audience, that gave two " encores".
    It was a joy to see/ listen what happens when classical taught musicians can bring such richdom to the mandolin and her family. They played Pink Floyd music on acoustic mandolin, mandola and mandoloncello, amplified and it sounded great.
    People who were not there, missed a lot.
    The trio can play this more often... and it is very worth. I would recommend to get them in your town and attend.
    We feel very lucky, these days in Naples.
