LUDINGTON, Mich. — The Ludington Area Center for the Arts (LACA) is excited to welcome the Michigan Mandolin Orchestra for a special holiday concert Saturday, Dec. 6. Doors will open at 7 p.m., with the performance beginning at 7:30 p.m.
Founded in 2018, the Michigan Mandolin Orchestra is the first ensemble of its kind in the state in over a century. The group brings together talented musicians from across Michigan to celebrate the unique, shimmering sound of the mandolin family. Known for their dynamic concerts, the orchestra performs a diverse repertoire ranging from classical and traditional mandolin music to contemporary works and holiday favorites. Their December performance at LACA will feature a festive program designed to capture the spirit of the season.
Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door, with a special early-bird presale price of just $15 for tickets purchased before Oct. 1.

“Every ticket purchased is more than just admission to a great concert,” said Andrew Skinner, Executive Director of LACA. “It’s an investment in the arts, in our community, and in the cultural life that makes Ludington such a wonderful place to live.”
