Hi All,

Here is a new video with the new composition MANDOLIVE by the Dutch guitarist and composer Jan Bartlema. It was written in 2013 for and dedicated to Mark M. Davis and Alex Timmerman and their mandolin orchestras resp. The New American Mandolin Ensemble NAME & The Dutch Mandolin Chamber Orchestra Het CONSORT. In this video you will see Bartlema's MANDOLIVE premiered during the joint concert both orchestras gave on June 7th 2014 in the English Reform Church at the Begijnhof in the very heart of Amsterdam (Netherlands).

Many thanks for the video recordings go to Jan and Pauline Ulderink and Jan Penninkhof, to David Miller for the recording of the sound and to the editor of all the material for the final video.

Enjoy!

Really a tremendous piece! Great fun to play, and I must say that you, Alex, did a GREAT job directing it! What a satisfying way to end our joint concert in Amsterdam.
