Americana
The 2021 Connvention of the Classical Mandolin Society of America (CMSA) was held as an online event. Several artists were invited to send videos of performances and workshops.
After the convention nunberous videos have been uploaded to youtube and are now available.
I have compiled the videos that I have found in this post.
Enjoy!

composer
Silvio Ranieri is best known for his mandolin method in four parts, and for his recordings from the early 20th century.
But he is also a composer of some interesting pieces for the mandolin. His compositions are not played very often.
I have found a beautiful video of “Souvenir de Varsovie” played by the Japanese mandolin player Katsu Chikako (勝千賀子).
I have collected more videos of this composition by Sivio Ranieri in my playlist.
