The London Mandolin Orchestra is going "Blissfully Baroque" for their 2015 Festival and the Mandolin Orchestra of Devon have been honoured to accept their invitation to join the orchestra for this celebration of a Golden Age for the mandolin. Here's a link to the event on FB; https://www.facebook.com/events/1431038163855859/ The LMO thought it would be fun to hold this year's London Mandolin Festival somewhere that reflects the concert's Blissfully Baroque theme. It can be seen here, painted for us in 1737 by Balthazar Nebot! St Paul's Covent Garden, is also known as the Actor's Church. It was built in 1633 to a design by Inigo Jones and remains a focal point in Covent Garden Market. I'm sure the players and audience enjoy this beautiful venue on Sunday 17th May. If anyone reckons hey could put up a flyer or two that would be great. You can download the artwork from my Dropbox here; https://www.dropbox.com/s/vs8svy3pno...-2015.pdf?dl=0

Well that went down a storm and I thoroughly enjoyed taking part with MOoD. Here's a pic of LMO and part of the audience that I could fit in the frame. Once the proper photos begin appearing I'll upload them and any sound /video links too
Here's the Mandolin Orchestra of Devon (MOoD - unfortunately only a travel-sized contingent) before we went to do a run through. And the London Mandolin Orchestra (except Cathy Cox who was there but went AWOL )
And the orchestras combined for the performance of Handel's Music for Fireworks
Here's a link to a resonance FM programme called Renaissance FM including an interview about the concert and recordings of some of the pieces. https://www.mixcloud.com/Resonance/r...9th-june-2015/
