2018 CMSA Convention
Flamingo Hotel – Santa Rosa, CA
November 14th – 18th, 2018
Held at the beautiful Flamingo Hotel in Santa Rosa, the 2018 convention is hosted by the Aurora Mandolin Orchestra, the Gravenstein Mandolin Ensemble and the San Francisco Mandolin Orchestra. “Come play with us!”
The convention kicks off on Wednesday afternoon with a set of workshops and the first En Masse Orchestra rehearsal with returning conductor Dr. Jim Bates, followed by the Welcome Party in the evening. Evening concerts featuring our guest performers and our three host orchestras will take place on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. You can also look forward to open mic concerts, daily workshops on classical and non-classical topics, and late night sight-reading and other ‘jams’. Friday includes our Gala banquet and raffle. The general CMSA membership meeting is Sunday morning, a last chance to spend time with bleary-eyed, sore-fingered friends.
