    The Oregon Mandolin Orchestra is inviting you to wake up from the winter blahs with some lively music sure to tickle your ears and boost your mood.

    “The dark and dreary days of winter are finally behind us, and we’re ready to get up and get on with it!” said OMO Music Director Christian McKee. “Our program this April reminds us of the storms we’ve weathered and evokes the beautiful days to come.”

    The concert also is the OMO’s expression of gratitude to the German Music Council, which has declared the mandolin the “Instrument of the Year 2023.” (https://rb.gy/nj84)

    For this concert, McKee has crafted a wide-ranging program that draws from several countries, eras and musical genres.

    From the orchestra’s Classical repertoire comes the Moorside Suite by British composer Gustav Holst. The OMO will lead a journey through all three movements – Scherzo, Nocturne and March – ending on a bold note of confidence and hope.

    From Eastern Europe comes Gopak, conceived in the high-kicking whirl of Ukrainian folk dance. Meanwhile, the Zaporizhian March digs deep to celebrate Ukraine’s Cossack roots.

    From Brazil comes Alma Brasileira, an enchanting dollop of – what else? – Brazilian soul. Meanwhile, Carinhoso, offers a moving exploration of choro, Brazil’s homegrown marriage of themes both happy and sad.

    From Washington’s Puget Sound comes the bright, upbeat Passing Guard March, written by an African American composer, Silas Seth Weeks, who also established and led a mandolin orchestra in Tacoma, Washington, during the 1890s.
