First Cafe Concert

This event was a great success. An audience of around forty enjoyed coffee and cake while they listened to WAMO perform a varied program. After the concert a few people stayed on to enjoy dinner at the restaurant. We look forward to our next in the series of Cafe Concerts to be held in August.

History of WAMO Book Launch - First Forty Years

Sun, 26 Jul 2015 07:45:31 +0100

For the last few months a number of orchestra members led by Mr Geoff Barber have been compiling a detailed history of The West Australian Mandolin Orchestra, including past / present members, conductors, overseas tours, FAME events and much more. This book will be completed in time for the orchestra's fortieth anniversary concert in March 2016. It will be available on order for an approximate cost of around $40 Australian dollars. If you are an overseas or eastern states reader please register your interest in obtaining a copy by emailing Geoff Barber using the email address listed on this website under contacts. We as an orchestra are very excited that this book of our wonderful orchestra's history will soon be published! Thanks go to the authors / contributors and especially to Geoff for all the wonderful hard work that goes into completing a work like this.

Players Nights

Thu, 21 May 2015 13:14:49 +0100

On the Wednesday after any concert the orchestra holds a 'players night' instead of the usual rehearsal. This is to sight read and play new music or revisit some of the older scores from the library. It is also a chance for members to play a solo or duet in an informal setting. This is also a social occasion with the orchestra members having a drink together afterwards.
