We all know the mandolin - you can hear it at almost any folk festival in the world. It was born in Italy at the end of the 17th century and became a symbol of romantic serenades. In the 20th century, it crossed the ocean to become part of American musical culture where it found new energy, and it continues to explore new sounds and styles. But have you ever heard a mandolin orchestra? It is truly something special. Mandolins, mandolas, and mandocellos combine with woodwinds and accordions to create a bright and unusual sound mosaic.On May 9th 2026, the Winnipeg Mandolin Orchestra invites you to “Across Time and Cultures”, a concert journey. From Mediterranean harbours to Scandinavian fjords. From Asian folk melodies to contemporary Canadian folk and jazz rhythms. Right here, in the heart of Canada, music from different eras and continents will meet in one shared orchestral sound.
The Winnipeg Mandolin Orchestra is conducted by Viacheslav Prysiazhniuk.
