Orkester Mandolina Ljubljana je do sedaj izdal dve zgoščenki. Vsako leto se predstavi z dvema celovečernima koncertoma v Ljubljani in številnimi nastopi na prireditvah ter samostojnimi koncerti v Sloveniji in v tujini, predvsem v sosednji Italiji, Avstriji in na Hrvaškem. Kot solisti so z orkestrom sodelovali številni glasbeniki iz sveta klasične in zabavne glasbe. Od leta 1999 dalje člani orkestra občasno sodelujejo tudi z orkestroma Slovenske filharmonije ter Opere in baleta v Ljubljani. Da se vedno bolj uveljavlja na amaterskem glasbenem področju, dokazujejo tudi številni prispevki o orkestru in prenosi njegovih koncertov na RTV Slovenija. The beginnings of OML go back to 1974. The number of members grew over the years and has settled on around twenty musicians.The greatest achievements of the orchestra are the numerous and consecutive gold awards and prizes won at the Meeting of Tamburitsa and Mandolin Players of Slovenia and victories won at two international mandolin competitions: Falkenstein, Germany, in 2000 and Imotski, Croatia, in 2005. The orchestra has so far published two CDs. Each year the orchestra presents itself on two premiere concerts in Ljubljana, on numerous appearances at different occasions and on independent concerts at home and abroad, particularly in Italy, Austria and Croatia. Many renowned Slovenian classical and pop musicians did their share as soloists with the orchestra. Since 1999 the orchestra members occasionally perform with Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra and the Opera and Ballet Orchestra of Ljubljana. Numerous articles about the orchestra and broadcasts of concerts are proof enough of its growing public recognition in the world of amateur music.
