 October 11, 2007 | PMO and tradition
The Pittsburgh Mandolin Orchestra is back in the news again with a terrific article about the great tradition of musical involvement hailing from mandolin communities of just a few decades back. Site Author Ted Eschliman's 101 year-old Grandmother talks fondly of the prominence of mandolin clubs of her college days.
In the current era of "self-contained" music of iPods and internet download it's great to see community centered music still thrive. The PMO boasts of ages from 12 to 88 in its 40 member group.
Enjoy Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article: Plucky Pittsburgh Mandolin Orchestra keeps folk tradition alive.
