Doc and Dave learned about the world of Mandolin Ensembles from an expert, Joshua Bell Director of the l’Esperance Mandolin Ensemble of Providence, RI. We were also joined by a former Mandolin student of Josh’s, ands our own first season star Sandra Enos! Josh’s extensive knowledge of the world and history of mandolin as well as his welcoming attitude for new learners was more than enough for a wonderful episode. We all knew Josh, but we also all learned something from him during this session and, as we had promised, we expand into other types of community ensembles beyond concert and jazz bands. The historical proliferation of the mandolin as a solo instrument as well as a family of instruments results in mandolin bands existing throughout the USA and the world. We are sure you will enjoy this brief introduction to the vibrant genre of community music ensembles.
