The Walkingwood Mandolin Quartet (WMQ) is celebrating 25 years of performing an eclectic repertoire on mandolin-family instruments: Betsy Rome and Ellen Cohn, mandolins; Colin Healy, mandola; and Gary Wikfors, mandocello. If you like the sound of strings plucked in harmony, if you are curious about what a mandolin quartet can sound like playing an unusual and wide range of music, if you have adventurous ears and crave the unexpected, and if you appreciate warmth, drive, passion, and humor in music, the WMQ will put a smile on your face.
25 years (+3 days) since their first public performance in 1999.
$15 at the door gets you:
1) The four of them doing their best to entertain you armed only with mandolins
2) Until the secret-weapon mini-set.
3) A chance to play with them in an impromptu mandolin orchestra (bring your mando — Golden Slippers, key of D)!
4) Birthday Cake during intermission!!
WMQ may be the last teens-era mandolin quartet still standing — don’t miss this chance to hear two mandolins, mandola, and mandocello played in harmony with creativity, humor, and joy!
And by people now 25 years older than they were when they started this…
