OPPS
The Orchestra
The Orchestra a Plettro della Penisola Sorrentina (OPPS) was founded in 2020 on the initiative of Michele de Martino. The ensemble brings together about forty musicians, including professionals, teachers and young talents from the area.
The orchestra's work focuses on the historical repertoire and original literature for mandolin and plucked instruments, with an open eye towards contemporary music and the creation of new compositions.
Alongside its concert activity, there are educational and socially useful projects, aimed at spreading mandolin culture and supporting the growth of new generations of instrumentalists.
