Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain — Student Matinee | Suggested Grades: K-12

From classical to bluegrass, from film scores to rock and roll, the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain can play it all! The group began in 1985 as an unconventional ensemble exploring the expressive range of the ukulele in unexpected repertoire and settings. They have developed a distinctive approach that pairs formal presentation with playful musical exploration. More than four decades later, they continue to thrill audiences with offbeat humor and four-stringed virtuosity. With no drums, pianos, backing tracks, guitars, or electronic enhancement, the orchestra presents an astonishing palette of ukuleles and a menagerie of voices in a collision of post-punk performance and beloved classics. Connections: Music, comedy, interpretation
