PERTH INTERNATIONAL MANDOLIN FESTIVAL 2012

WAMO will be hosting the Perth International Mandolin Festival in Perth from Sunday 8th July to Sunday 15th July 2012.

The festival is open to all mandolin, mandola, mandolcello, classical guitar, bass players, percussionists (and partners) and will feature of week of rehearsals for an orchestral concert on Saturday 14th July.

During the week there will be in-house concerts as well as many social opportunities. Accommodation will be a Trinity, a residential college of the University of WA, which has excellent public transport access to Perth, Kings Park, Subiaco, etc.

Anticipated cost for single participants in standard student accommodation is about $800 which includes full board, and a formal dinner. Higher levels of accommodation, including family units, are available.

At this stage we are asking for expressions of interest from orchestras and ensembles, particularly from those outside Australia.

The last Perth International Mandolin Festival was in 2007 and attracted orchestras from Japan, Germany and New Zealand as well as a number of smaller groups and soloists. It was a great opportunity to see mandolin music at its best, and 2012 will be no different!.
