The Kalamazoo Mandolin and Guitar Orchestra is a plucked string ensemble of mandolins, mandolas, mandocellos, guitars, and bass. The KMGO was founded in 2003 to revive the mandolin orchestra tradition in Kalamazoo. The orchestra enjoys performing a wide variety of music including classical, world, and traditional mandolin orchestra music. We have premiered original music composed for the orchestra and have sponsored workshops with international mandolin virtuosi.

The Kalamazoo Mandolin and Guitar Orchestra is a non-profit organization and is sponsored by Crescendo Academy of Music. Rehearsals are Tuesday evenings at 7:15 at the Crescendo Academy of Music in the Epic Center. For more information please call 269-345-6664
