Invitation to Membership

In this, the fiftieth anniversary of the Munier Orchestra's founding, we are pleased to invite qualified mandolinists, mandola players, mandocellists, and classical guitar players to join our ranks. There are openings in all sections, especially in those that feature the lower-voiced instruments. Our repertoire has traditionally included Italian light classical, operatic selections, show tunes, folk music of many nations, but is readily expandable to accommodate current player interests and ability. There are opportunities for soloists as well as for small ensembles to perform with the orchestra, or in conjunction with an orchestral concert.

Our season usually runs from September to June and we rehearse in southwest Philadelphia on Monday evenings. Concerts most often occur on Sunday afternoons but the schedule is irregular. There is of course no payment for performance.

If you read music, play at least moderately well and would enjoy the opportunity to participate in an ensemble of experienced musicians committed to the perfection of the art of classical mandolin and guitar performance, please contact us and arrange to visit during one of our rehearsals. Call any of the following for details:
