original tunes. She has toured Europe, North America,
the Far East, and Brazil, performing in Carnegie Hall,

addition to her solo career, Marilynn performs in
duos, trios and ensembles, including Mair & Larrabee,
the Mandolin World Summit, Enigmatica, and the New
England Mandolin Ensemble. She has worked with a
broad spectrum of musicians, from the Deutches
