Kalamazoo Mandolin & Guitar Orchestra in Concert

This event is part of the 2023 Milwood United Methodist Church concert series! The concert is free, though donations are welcome.

Sponsored by the Crescendo Academy of Music, the Kalamazoo Mandolin and Guitar Orchestra (KMGO) is a plucked string ensemble of mandolins, mandolas, mandocellos, guitars, and bass. The KMGO was founded in 2003 to revive the mandolin orchestra tradition in Kalamazoo. The orchestra enjoys performing a wide variety of music including classical, world, and traditional mandolin orchestra music. We have premiered original music composed for the orchestra and have sponsored workshops with international mandolin virtuosi.

Membership is by audition; rehearsals are Tuesday evenings at 7:15 at the Crescendo Academy of Music in the Epic Center. For information on becoming a member, contact Crescendo.
