Providence Mandolin Orchestra at Aldrich Mansion

Posted

Warwick’s Aldrich Mansion and Estate announced a new and unique Gilded Concert Series to be held in the glamorous Gilded Age home of former Rhode Island Senator Nelson W. Aldrich, one of the state’s premier venues.

The concert series will open with the Providence Mandolin Orchestra, comprised of musicians from Southern New England, playing such instruments as mandolin, mandola or octave mandolin, mandocello, guitar and bass.

Under the leadership of Mark M. Davis, the orchestra has become one of the leading mandolin ensembles, with appearances throughout the eastern United States and Canada. The orchestra features a wide range of musical styles such as Renaissance dances, Baroque concertos, turn-of-the-century nostalgia and avant-garde expressions.

The first time I attended one of their concerts I was entranced with the quality and musical style of the orchestra and became a big fan.

The Providence Mandolin Orchestra will appear at Aldrich Mansion on Sunday, November 9 from 3-5 p.m. Doors will open for general seating at 2:30.

The eclectic program will include music by Vivaldi, Claudio Mandonico, Boston’s Owen Hartford, Rhode Island’s own Bob Martel and Randy Newman.

Tickets are $26.87, which includes a service fee, tax and gratuity. During the 15-minute intermission, complimentary appetizers and pastry will be served with tea and coffee. Parking is free, and the venue is handicap accessible. You may purchase tickets at aldrichmansionevents.brownpapertickets.com or by calling 800-838-3006. No tickets will be sold at the door.
