I was beginning to write an article about the MMO for the CMSA Mandolin Journal, when it struck me -- we were founded in 1991. It is 2021. We've been in existence for 30 years!
So, the article has expanded in scope. It was going to be about all the great things the orchestra has accomplished despite the year plus of COVID. Now it's going to be celebrating all the great things the orchestra has done these past 30 years (with of course an emphasis on the present and future).
I've just begun outreach to people -- composers, founders, long-timers - and I want to be sure to consider input from anyone who has something to say about the orchestra. My hope is to wrap up the input phase for the article by the end of September to give some time for editing and publication.
If you have a story to tell about the orchestra, or just have thoughts about the meaning of mandolin music in your life, I'd love to read it and consider including in the article, or in some other blog posting celebrating our anniversary.
You can email me (look me up in the roster under mandocello), or reply to this posting.
