The Long Island Mandolin and Guitar Orchestra, also known as Stringtopia, will present a musical program featuring selections from international folk, ethnic, light classical and popular music, including songs from the Great American Songbook.
The performance will take place at the Great Neck Library, 159 Bayview Ave., on Sunday, Jan. 25, 2026, at 2 p.m.
The ensemble includes musicians performing on mandolins, mandolas, guitars, mandocellos, string bass, drums and accordion, along with vocalists. The program is intended to highlight a range of musical styles and instrumentation.
