Our

the
mandolin
and
promote
the
mandolin
family
of
instruments
and
mandolin
music,
with
emphasis
on
the
classical
style.
Most
of
our
instruments
are
in
the
mandolin
family:
mandolin,
mandola,
mandocello,
and
mandobass.
The
concertina,
harmonica,
flute
and
recorder
complement
these
and
give
our
orchestra
its
special
sound.
Our
group
includes
professional
and
amateur
musicians
who
play
a
diverse
musical
repertoire
ranging
from
bluegrass

story
Founded
in
1924,
the
New
York
Mandolin
Orchestra
was
originally
affiliated
with
the
Jewish
Community
newspaper
Freiheit,
and
was
first
known
as
the
New
York
Freiheit
Mandolin
Orchestra.
Its
members
were
immigrant
musicians
from
Eastern
Europe
who
had
brought
their
instruments
with
them
to
the
New
World.
In
1920s,
a
number
of
other
mandolin
orchestras
were
operating
in
New
York
—
many
in
connection
with
labor
unions.
These
included
the
Mandolin
Symphonette,
the
New
York
Mandolin
Symphony,
the
Workmen's
Circle
Mandolin
Orchestra,
the
International
Ladies
Garment
Workers
Union
Orchestra,
the
International
Workers
Order
Mandolin
Orchestra
and
the
Jewish
Peoples'
Fraternal
Order
Orchestra.
Their
main
orientation
was
classical
mandolin
music.
By
the
1980s,
members
were
older;
many
died,
while
others
moved
away.
As
the
older
orchestras
disbanded
some
remaining
members
joined
our
orchestra.
The
orchestra’s
earlier
focus
on
classical
music
expanded
to
include
bluegrass,
jazz,
show
tunes,
folk
and
ethnic
music.
Performances
were
interrupted
only
in
2020
during
the
Covid
pandemic,
when
live
rehearsals
were
suspended
into
the
fall
of
2021,
when
rehearsals
resumed.
The
New
York
Mandolin
Orchestra
has
continued
uninterrupted
music-making
into
its
ninth
decade!
Today
we
are
the
only
full-fledged
mandolin
orchestra
in
the
City
of
New
York
with
members
from
all
Boroughs
of
New
York
City,
Nassau,
Orange,
Dutchess
and
Rockland
Counties,
and
the
State
of
New
Jersey.
