A to Z??? Ridiculous to the sublime??? The mandolin equivalent is Piccolo Mandolin to Mandobass! We’ve got ‘em both in The Mandolin Orchestra of Kansas City! Come hear Laura Gray on the Piccolo Mandolin, Jay Hawkins on the Mandobass, and the rest of us in our Spring Concert on Saturday, May 11th, 7:00 PM at St John’s United Methodist Church, 6900 Ward Parkway in KCMO.

A selfie from the MOOKC rehearsal last night. Getting ready for our May 11th concert—featuring “Selections From Peer Gynt” by Edward Grieg and a flashback to the sixties with “White Bird” by It’s a Beautiful Day. And an encore piece you won’t want to miss!

Come play with us!!! Do you play a member of the Mandolin family of instruments, guitar or upright bass? Are you interested in playing as part of a Mandolin Orchestra? We rehearse weekly on Tuesdays at St. John's United Methodist Church, 6900 Ward Parkway.

Ask us questions here on our MOOKC page or e-mail us at [email protected]. We can give you our rehearsal schedule, get you some music, and even invite you to sit in for a rehearsal just to see if you like it! No obligation!

We made the KC Star!!!

It’s unusual to “hear a mandolin orchestra of this size and this quality for free. No telling when it will ever happen again,” one of the organizers says.
