Join the Seattle Mandolin Orchestra in the Main Library reading room for a holiday concert! A full orchestra featuring more than 20 players will present a vast library of music from more than 50 years of playing together. This year's program will include some classic favorites as well as the debut of several new arrangements, with varied music from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries.

The Seattle Mandolin Orchestra exists to preserve, promote, and extend America’s mandolin ensemble tradition. Featuring the entire mandolin family of instruments, including mandolin, mandola, mandocello, and mandobass, the orchestra is dedicated to revitalizing the mandolin ensemble and expanding its repertoire through commissions and arrangements. The repertoire encompasses baroque, classical, jazz, and folk traditions.
