ATLANTA MANDOLIN ORCHESTRA
The Atlanta Mandolin Orchestra is the performing unit of the Atlanta Mandolin Society, Inc., established in 1994. AMS has been organized to perpetuate knowledge and appreciation of music written for the mandolin and related instruments.
The Atlanta Mandolin Society is proud to have revived the mandolin orchestra in Atlanta. For over 30 years, beginning in the early 20th Century, there was a very fine mandolin orchestra in Atlanta under the direction of William Griffith. Mr. Griffith created quite a rage for the mandolin during the first decades of the previous century and is fondly remembered by many.
The Atlanta Mandolin Orchestra is establishing its own history today under the direction of conductor Robb Smith. Robb has been a life-long musician and is a graduate of the Geneva Conservatory of Music, and has been with AMO since 1994.
