Auckland Mandolinata Orchestra -  the only classical  mandolin orchestra in New Zealand.

A unique opportunity to hear all members of the mandolin family, mandolin, mandola, liuto, and mandolon supported by guitar and flute.

Hear music from around the world and from yesterday and today; light classical, traditional Russian and Spanish, Mediterranean and of course Italian with one or two blues thrown in.

 The orchestra, led by Bryan Holden, well known Musical Director from Auckland, began forty years ago.   Internationally we are part of the Federation of Australasian Mandolin Ensembles (FAME) and have travelled, studied and played in Europe. 

In January the orchestra is hosting the international Australasian camp in Auckland with a concert on 8th January, where a 50+ strong classical plectrum orchestra, rarely experienced in New Zealand will perform with a world premier of new works by Australasian composers.   Tickets at www.iTicket.co.nz
