Welcome to.... Mandolins, Balalaikas, Ukuleles and other lesser known music of British Columbia's Lower Mainland Hosted by The Lower Mainland Mandolin Society Last updated December 2, 2023 |
We are back to being available for hire for care facilities or public performances. When contacting us to perform, please specify how many people you can accommodate as we are now approximately 20 people strong but usually bring only 8-10 at a time. On November 30, thirteen of us performed with the Swiss choir for the residents of Westminster House in Surrey and all of us will be performing December 14 at our semi-annual concert at Dunwood Place in New Westminster, where we practice. We are extremely grateful to them for providing the space.
Our president elect is Barbara Ladouceur (Barbie).
Due to the pandemic, most concerts were cancelled until further notice. To entertain you in the meantime, here is a link to a video of leader Catherine Sands and friends playing "My Bonnie" with new words written by Catherine. As the words may not be completely audible, they are on our Facebook page.
Welcome new visitors! Check out reports of our recent activities on Melodious Mandolins page and our Photo Album.
Mandolin lessons available. E-mail us to arrange.
Time to dust off that old mandolin sitting in the closet! We need more mandolin players, ukulele players and also guitar players who enjoy entertaining seniors on a volunteer basis. Call us at 604-202-4191 for an audition.

2) to bring music to the community, particularly those confined to care facilities
