The Sandpoint Mandolin Ensemble was formed in February, 2004. It started with 12 members and is growing. Its members come from the beautiful mountain-forest-lake area surrounding the small town of Sandpoint in the northern panhandle of Idaho.

Instrumentation includes mandolins, mandolas, octave mandolins, mandocello, guitars, violin and bass.

Eight members participated in our first performance on August 15, 2004.

The ensemble enjoys meeting weekly for a two hour rehearsal. New members are always welcome to join us.
