Vivaldi, Scarlatti, Mozart,Beethoven, and Paganini all wrote music for the mandolin, and it was a wildly popular instrument in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries.  When you hear the wonderful sounds of Gruviera Armonico, you’ll understand why.  The classical guitar is the perfect compliment, adding depth and richness to the mandolin’s  unique voice.

Founded in 2004, Gruviera Armonico has performed throughout Ohio, including appearances at Otterbein College’s Annual String Showcase and the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music.  Programs embrace the vast scope of music written for classical mandolin and guitar and often include performance on rare historical instruments.  As a leading scholar of the mandolin, Mr. Braig brings insightful and interesting commentary to the stage as well.
