The Dayton Mandolin Orchestra (DMO) performs at local concerts, holiday celebrations and other events in the Dayton and Greater Miami Valley area. The orchestra features the members of the mandolin family: Mandolin, Mandola, Octave, Mandocello and Mandobass; and their acoustical cousins, the Guitar and Contrabass, with additional instrumentalists as needed.

DMO's repertoire consists of a wide variety of music spanning the Seventeenth through Twenty-first Centuries: Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, light Jazz/Big Band, Contemporary, patriotic and seasonal numbers, with a special emphasis on music of the early Twentieth Century: "The Golden Age" of the Mandolin Orchestra's history.
