SMO in concert! Come see us at the Bellevue Library at 2 p.m., Saturday, May 13. Our concert celebrates the music of Asia, with several world premiere arrangements. Admission is free!

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.

To book a performance, inquire about joining the orchestra, or ask us any other questions, please call (425) 673-0263 or

Happy holidays! Thanks to those who attended our library concerts in Everett and Coupeville. Here from the Coupeville concert is our rendition of "Let It Snow!" (We were a few days late; the snowstorm happened on Nov. 29.) See our YouTube channel for more videos.
