about

The Louisville Mandolin Orchestra (LMO) was organized in 1988 to offer local area musicians an opportunity to participate in an orchestral ensemble of plucked instruments. the Lmo is comprised of mandolins, mandolas, mandocellos, guitars and bass, similar to the instrumentation of a traditional string orchestra, and is a carry-over from the mandolin orchestra tradition popular at the turn of this century.

The LMO has achieved a wide reputation during its brief existence and has appeared at the the Kentucky center for the arts, as part of of the Lonesome Pine special series, in a program called “mando magnificat.” this show has been televised to a worldwide audience and has been added to the permanent collection of the smithsonian institute. Besides numerous appearances in the region, the Lmo has participated in international festivals in Germany, France and spain and received high critical acclaim.
