The Atlanta Mandolin Society is proud to have revived the mandolin orchestra in Atlanta. For over thirty years there was a very fine mandolin orchestra in Atlanta under the direction of William Griffith. Mr. Griffith was a mandolin instructor, performer, conductor, and instrument dealer who operated in Midtown – Atlanta, GA. The Atlanta Mandolin Orchestra is establishing its own history today under the direction of Robb Smith, their conductor!
