Croatian American Cultural Center says…

The mandolin softened The Godfather's brutality and framed Captain Corelli's heartache, but it's also central to such geographically and musically diverse styles as bluegrass, klezmer, Celtic, and some particularly mystical variants of rock 'n roll. The San Francisco Festival of the Mandolins celebrates the instrument's uniquely shimmering sound at the Croatian American Cultural Center, with performances by Instant Klezmer Mandolin Orchestra, the Aurora Mandolin Orchestra, and the inclusive BYO Mandolin Orchestra.
