From Baroque to Bluegrass - Staatliches Institut für Musikforschung - Preußischer Kulturbesitz

The lute's little sister spread from Italy to the rest of Europe and to America. It was popular in the baroque, classical and romantic eras and became a style-defining instrument of American bluegrass. The mandolin has conquered many musical spaces: on the backs of wanderers, at nightly serenades, in the large symphony orchestra or in plucked instrument ensembles. For the Year of the Mandolin 2023 proclaimed by the Landesmusikrat Berlin-Brandenburg, we are dedicating this cabinet exhibition to it.
