I haven’t found interesting concerts in Venice for many years. After a long internet search, I found this Mandolin Ensemble in Venice. What luck and happiness! Nice evening. These musicians should be better known so that other music lovers can listen to mandolin in Venice.
Merci beaucoup pour ces mots si touchants. Nous sommes heureux que vous ayez trouvé notre Ensemble et passé une belle soirée avec nous à Venise. Votre soutien nous aide à faire connaître la mandoline à d’autres mélomanes.
Good morning, I was in Venice on a beautiful sunny day when I noticed their manifesto: a quartet of mandolins?! I was remarkably intrigued. I had the opportunity to talk to the staff who, with extreme kindness, introduced me to the whole project and here I am, in the evening, waiting to hear them. I got to listen to numerous tracks I had never heard before. Songs that deeply moved me as, I must say, I would not have expected. I am very happy to have given him a chance and wish him all the success they deserve. Widely recommended!
Grazie di cuore per le sue splendide parole. Siamo davvero felici che la curiosità l’abbia portata a scoprire il nostro mondo e che la musica sia riuscita a emozionarla così profondamente. Il suo sostegno e il suo entusiasmo significano molto per noi.
Terrible acoustics, bad sightlines. They should have set up on the platform, not the floor. Selections rather boring.
Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback. We will certainly take your comments into consideration. At the same time, we are proud that our concerts have received a very high level of appreciation from many guests, and this encourages us to continue improving. Best regards, MandolinVenice Manager
Very moving, professional and intimate. It was beautiful! I recommend to all! Keep moving us!
Merci beaucoup pour vos mots si touchants. Nous sommes ravis que notre musique vous ait ému. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau à Venise.
I was at the March concert of this fantastic quartet in the church of San Giorgio in Venice. I didn't think I'd be won over by the sweet, melancholy sound of mandolins. Not only the beauty of the place but also the skill of these interpreters. I highly recommend participating in this authentic experience of music and culture.
Grazie mille per le tue parole, significano molto per noi.
I went to a MandolinVenice concert and I say right away that it is one of those experiences that do not seem “touristy”, but authentic. The musical level is really high, you can hear that they are real musicians, not improvised. The repertoire is well chosen, flows without downtime and always keeps you inside. The Anglican church is perfect: small, cosy, with an acoustics that enhances the mandolin in a surprising way. The atmosphere is intimate, almost suspended. It is elegant, different from the usual and makes you experience Venice in a more authentic way.
Grazie di cuore per queste parole così attente e profonde. Ci fa davvero piacere che tu abbia colto proprio quello che cerchiamo di creare: un’esperienza autentica, lontana dai cliché, dove la musica possa parlare in modo diretto e sincero. La Chiesa di St. George è per noi un luogo speciale, e sapere che anche l’atmosfera e l’acustica ti abbiano emozionato rende tutto ancora più significativo. Speriamo di rivederti presto a uno dei nostri prossimi concerti a Venezia
We attended a nighttime performance in early spring 2026. The program was well-balanced and delightful. The musicians are extremely good and everything was so atmospheric, as the church in which it is held is small and intimate. If you have never been to a mandolin concert, this is a must. I would definitely attend another concert of the Mandolin Venice Ensemble. Afterwards, we walked home through the alleys and along the canals, a quiet and mysterious hour when all the crowds have vanished and only the sound of mandolin music still plays in our memory. Truly a magical night in Venice I will never forget.
Thank you so much for these beautiful words. We’re truly glad you felt the atmosphere and intimacy of the evening—moments like that are exactly why we love sharing this music. We’d be delighted to welcome you again soon in Venice!
An excellent evening with beautiful Italian music for mandolin with very talented musicians.
thank you so much for your kind words! We’re truly happy you enjoyed the evening and our music—it means a lot to us.
We had just 2 days in Venice, my friend was staying an additional night and had tickets to the Vivaldi concert which happily I had seen previously so we decided to try this Mandolin concert. It was a great surprise and so enjoyable. They are very talented musicians, gave a brief background story to each piece which helped us to enjoy the selection even more. Highly recommended!
Thank you for choosing MandolinVenice during your short stay in Venice—what a pleasure to be your “great surprise”! We’re delighted you enjoyed the program and the brief introductions, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. We hope to welcome you again on a future visit to Venice.
