I invite my bass clef buddies to join CMSA and register for the Convention in the Clouds, November 13-15. Along with numerous mandolin centered workshops, concerts and meet-ups, we will have liuto and mandocello master Fabio Giudice offering his tips and musicality on the larger member of the family. We will have a Mandocello Hangout session to present new music and discuss problems and solutions unique to the big guy. Related material from the recently edited Bickford Mandocello Method will be posted (for members) on the CMSA website. We will also present open mic performances of an all-mandocello ensemble, including a world premiere of a mandocello quartet.
I see more and more interest in the mandocello on its own terms (as opposed to a strictly orchestral bass instrument). Please join, register, and be part of this wonderful opportunity.
Hope to see you in the clouds!
