Thank you Radim!

The Radim Zenkl concert and workshop was in a word "fantastic".  Radim is blessed with speaking fluent "mandolin" with players of all levels during his workshop and his playing really spoke for itself during his performance.  From beginners to more advanced players, everyone was gifted with a little of Radim's mandolin wisdom and knowledge.  Thank you to everyone who attended and to all of the people behind the scenes who donated their time and passion.  Thank you Radim for sharing so much!

A special thank you to Ben Wilcox, luthier of BRW mandolins, and his wife for making the trip to share his newest F-Style mandolin with everyone at the concert.  It was beautiful!

In Concert

Saturday, November 12th, 2005 at 2:00 PM

"Radim Zenkl has reinvented the mandolin in several different ways!"- David Grisman

"Radim Zenkl brings a great new voice to the mandolin, mandola, Irish bouzouki and slide mandolin. Precision, passion and a sense of daring." - Sam Bush

"Most wildly original mandolin music you may hear in this world or any other. Zenkl is one of the most creative instrumentalists of any kind we've heard - sometimes shocking, sometimes lyrical, always brilliant!" - Elderly Instruments


Where: First Friends Meeting Place, 3030 Kessler Blvd., East Dr. (3 blocks east of Keystone), Indianapolis, IN

Mandolinists!  Call to reserve your spot for Radim’s pre-concert mandolin workshop at 10:00 to 12:30 at First Friend’s Meeting Place – Attendees are limited so call now!  $40.00 for the workshop which includes a concert ticket!

If you attended Radim's concert last February you know this is a show not to be missed!  Radim is one of the finest mandolinists and mandolin instructors in the world.  Radim has been one of the featured instructors at David (Dawg) Grisman's Mandolin Symposium the past 2 years and is also a featured artist on Dawg's new "Tone Poets" release on Acoustic Disc.  Don't miss seeing him play with 2 picks at once.  Imagine playing a violin with 2 bows at once.  His technique could be compared to that if it was possible!  Don't miss out on a great show and learning experience! - Mark Kurkowski, Owner of Frank's Violins
