Join us for a CD release concert for Enigmatica's 5th CD, "The Road Less Traveled." The CD features the music of Bach, the Beatles, Rhiannon Giddens, Astor Piazzolla, Benjamin Britten, and members of the group.
Enigmatica is a New England-based mandolin ensemble directed by Marilynn Mair. Part chamber orchestra and part plucked-string double-quartet, Enigmatica performs a variety of music: Baroque, Brazilian, eclectic contemporary, and Americana music written by group members and friends. The ensemble features instruments of the mandolin family — mandolin, mandola, octave mandolin, and 6- and 7-string guitars. Ensemble members come from Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and across Rhode Island. Enigmatica's CDs will be available for sale at the concert.
“The sound of Enigmatica can be described as sparkling, effervescent, fluid, precise, and joyous. The clarity of line they achieve is breathtaking, completely the equal of any string quartet or chamber ensemble playing today.” – Mandolin Magazine
