The New York Mandolin Orchestra, beautifully and dramatically conducted by Jefferey Ellenberger at the Salmagundi Club on April 23rd, was a not to be forgotten event. The wonderfully executed classical and popular musical selections, against the background of the dancing colors and shapes of the American Watercolor Societies show, made for a spellbinding experience–another memorable artistic event in Salmagundi’s cultural treasure trove..(many thanks to Annie Shaver-Crandell for making it happen).
