At the Beat Club in Greven, Germany, mandolin virtuoso Alon Sariel gives the premiere performance of "Until they've driven out the grief," a solo mandolin composition by Seattle Mandolin Orchestra member Clark Nichols. Congratulations, Clark!


If you read music and play guitar, bass or a mandolin-family instrument (mandolin, mandola, or mandocello), there's never a bad time to join the orchestra!

Did you find an old mandolin in the closet, or under the bed? Here's some advice.
