Mandolin Sounds

What's it about?

Avi Avital is a jack-of-all-trades and visionary of the mandolin. Avital, who discovered his passion at the age of eight in the mandolin orchestra of his Israeli homeland, has brought the mandolin to the great concert halls of the world. His repertoire ranges from baroque music to modern chansons and jazz to world music. The program, which he creates together with the Kammerorchester Basel, spans a fascinating arc through the world of the mandolin.
