Winnipeg Mandolin Orchestra Annual Concert
In its 104th year, the WMO is pleased to present its annual concert on May 10th.
The orchestra will play a variety of music including:
Ukrainian Suite by Dashak
Other music from Ukraine includes the Concerto for Accordion by Nikolai Chaikin – 2nd movement;
Arkan, a traditional Ukrainian dance arranged by Slava Prysiazhniuk, a violist and assistant conductor with the orchestra.
A new piece for us this year is Zorba the Greek. The music from this 1964 award-winning film is well suited to mandolins as the mandolin and Greek bouzouki are closely related.
Compositions by Anthony Hopkins, Kuwahara, Piazzolla and Mosolov are present.
We add a taste of Americana with Minneapolis musician, Peter Ostroushko’s Heart of the heartland
Our guest this year is the Sam Baardman Trio. Sam, a musician and photographer, is also an orchestra member.
The Winnipeg Mandolin Orchestra is conducted by Annis Kozub.
TICKETS AVAILABLE THROUGH EVENTBRITE ($20), OR AT THE DOOR ($25).
