Local mandolin player gets press for her orchestra




Yellow Springs resident Kathryn Hitchcock talked to the Dayton Daily News about the Dayton Mandolin Orchestra of which she and several other Springers are members. From Oct. 28 - Nov. 1, the DMO will be hosting the 23rd annual Classical Mandolin Society of America convention at the Crowne Plaza and other Dayton venues.

"I think there are a lot of musicians and music lovers in YS that might want to take some of the workshops for guitar and mandolin, and/or attend one of the concerts," her sister Dee Sorrell wrote in an email to the Blog.

Kathryn's husband Michael Hitchcock also plays in the orchestra, which was founded by Yvonne Wingard. Other local members are Kathryn, Mike Ruddell and David Nibert. The DMO has performed in the village in the past.
