    Hi all,

    For those who are in or near Zwolle this June this could perhaps be a nice opportunity to attend the Master classes and/or play in the Day Orchestra!

    Best greetings,

    Alex.

    If, by some mischance, you happen to be in Clacton-on-sea this weekend there's I'll be with a group of mandolinists in the bar of the Esplanade on the sea front both afternoons. It's probably more of a 'get together' rather than a concert but when it all gels you do get the Mandolin Orchestra sound.

    Hi all,

    For those in Europe - or better those who are in the Netherlands - I like tp point out that the Dutch Mandolinist Ferdinand Binnendijk will give a recital on the Liuto cantabile ánd the mandolin on April 15th in the Waalse Kerk, Schoutenstraat 4 in Zwolle (NL).

    Ferdinand Binnendijk will, besides the 6th Prelude composed by Raffaele Calace and Johann Sebastian Bach's 3rd Suite (BWV 1009) on the Liuto cantabile, perform Calace's 1st Prelude for solo mandolin.

    Together with his duo partner Suzanne Zijderveld on harp Ferdinand will execute 2 Sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti and the Roumanian folkdances by Béla Bartók.

    You are all very welcome!


    Best greetings,

    Alex.

    [A late notice, but perhaps this has already been mentioned earlier in this thread— if so, my apologies.]

    Master mandolinist Carlo Aonzo and guitarist René Izquierdo will be performing my Canzona at Bargemusic tonight, "New York's floating concert hall", a most miraculous venue on a real barge, moored by the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge.

    http://bargemusic.org/

    This work, fully titled Canzona per Carlo Aonzo was commissioned by and written for Carlo a decade ago and was soon thereafter programmed and taken along on his tour of Japan and the US, working its way eastwards all the way to New York City, where it was given its local premiere in 2006. So tonight's performance is a sort of tenth anniversary of this piece, written with much love for the mandolin and the guitar, and great admiration and affection for Carlo.

    Should any fellow New Yorkers be able to attend, I will be delighted to meet you there.

    Cheers,

    Victor

    Only a rare sort of person can be a great artist and a great entertainer, all at the same time, without compromising artistic integrity or dulling the sheen of showmanship. Carlo is just that sort of person. After all, charisma does mean "gift" in Greek. You either got it or you don't. He does.

    Three cheers for Carlo!

    Carlo changed their Paganini selection to the Sonata No. 5 in E Major. (I couldn't edit my original post.)

    I will be traveling to Ft Wayne Indiana to perform this coming Sunday with Eclectica. The core members of Eclectica are Melanie Bookout, Russell Bookout, myself, and Anne Martin. Melanie, Russell, and Anne play various viola da gamba instruments, and Russell and I various plucked instruments. We are always joined by one or more guests, for this concert by Elizabeth Piercy, a wonderful singer in many different styles. I’ll be playing two mandolin solos – my arrangements of three songs by Pete Seeger, and “Dimitris Ohrwürmer,” an outstanding Greek-inflected piece by James Kellaris. Russell and I will play two mandoln-guitar duets (Scarlatti), and I’ll also accompany Elizabeth on guitar for songs by Luiz Bonfa, Jerome Kern, and Paul Simon. The concert is at 2 PM in the concert hall at the Main Public Library in Ft Wayne:

    Hi all,

    I'm proud to inform you about a unique LUNCH CONCERT in the Kleine Zaal van het Concertgebouw in Amsterdam by Ferdinand Binnendijk on the mandolin and mandola, and Laurens de Man on the piano.
    Unique because it has not happened before that the mandolin was heard with a complete recital in this prestigious Dutch concerthall. Let's hope many times will follow from now on!

    The recital will take place tomorrow, Wednesday Dec. 28th at 12:30 hours and the entrance is free! If you are around Amsterdam, don't miss it!


    Best greetings,

    Alex.

    Hi all,

    Memory already... But an absolute wonderful one, having witnessed mandolinist Ferdinand Binnendijk and his pianist Laurens de Man in their LUNCH CONCERT in Amsterdam in our foremost "Music Temple" Het Concertgebouw.

    The hall was completely sold out (the people stood in a row outside the Concertgebouw and more than some had to be disappointed because there were no tickets available anymore). Ferdinand Binnendijk and Laurens de Man gave a fantastic recital, performing music by Van Beethoven, Schubert and Calace, that was well received by the listeners and rewarded with a standing ovation!

    Indeed, more of this would just be great! Let's hope that it'll be possibility soon and that we can listen to these two musicians in this concert hall again! What great acoustics and what fantastic musicians! Bravo to Laurens and Ferdinand!!!


    Best greetings,

    Alex.

    Here is a photo taken during the concert of Laurens and Ferdinand.

Three different instruments will be used: an East German (1970s) round back mandolin (Leone), an East German (1970s) round back mandola (Bach and Kioulaphides), and a 2015 American carved back oval hole by Dave Cohen (Jones and Kälberer). Admission is free (donations accepted at the door).

    Three cheers in advance, Bob! I'd love to attend but, alas, family calamities have disrupted what I had expected to be a happy New York to Boston ping-pong. We'll get over that, and get over there, both happier and more often.

    I heard you play the Suite for Ali at the CMSA Convention in Baltimore, so I'm sure this performance will be just as lovely. As you know, it was written for Ali's "Beast", so it was conceived with that lower register in mind.

    Cheers,

    Massachusetts seems to be a hotbed for classical mandolin activity lately. I wish I could make it to all these events by friends and colleagues. I hope all more local MCers can make it. Both concerts should be wonderful.

    Plectrum banjoist BUDDY WACHTER will appear with the Baltimore Mandolin Orchestra on Sunday, April 30th. Buddy is a Baltimore native, but this will be a rare appearance, because he hasn't played in town in 20-25 years. He's been playing around the world and doing other stuff.

    Buddy began studying banjo, mandolin and bass at age nine. At the age of 16, before he had even graduated from high school, he auditioned for the Fred Waring Show and got hired. He began his professional career as a featured performer with Waring's famed "Pennsylvanians," and toured with them for two years.

    Since then, Buddy has been devoted to bringing the four-string banjo to the world's stages. He has played more than 7,000 concerts to audiences in over 120 countries. He has appeared with Arthur Fiedler, Marvin Hamlisch, the Count Basie All-Stars, Benny Goodman, John Hartford, Stephane Grapelli, Tony Trischka and Bela Fleck. He has appeared regularly as a soloist with symphony orchestras. Since his Carnegie Hall debut with Skitch Henderson and the New York Pops in 1992, Buddy has been the guest soloist with over a hundred orchestras worldwide.

    Starting in 1990, Buddy performed and lectured all over the world as a musical ambassador for the U.S. Department of State.

    He was inducted into the Banjo Hall of Fame in 2001 in the Four-String Performance category and again in 2012 for Education and Instruction.

    Besides performing pieces with the Baltimore Mandolin Orchestra at this concert, Buddy will perform solos and ensemble pieces with tubist Ed Goldstein (music director of the Peabody Ragtime Ensemble) and mandolinist Marc DeSimone, who entertains people in Baltimore's "Little Italy" by playing the mandolin and guitar and singing Italian favorites.

    This promises to be a great and one-of-a-kind concert. Please try to come if you're in town.

    When: Sunday, April 30, 4:00 p.m.
    Where: Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, 8501 Loch Raven Blvd, Towson (Baltimore), MD.
    Admission: Freewill offering
