Returning to Orange County with crowd-pleasing, stomping, rocking and thought-provoking music, the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain believes that all genres of music are available for reinterpretation and can be played on the ukulele.
The Philharmonic Society of Orange County is pleased to announce the return of The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britan. With crowd-pleasing, stomping, poignant, rocking, thought-provoking, swinging music; groovy plucking, heartfelt singing, virtuosic whistling, and an irreverent deflation of pomposity all served up in the Orchestra’s fine-tuned and integrated entertainment will surely be “a complete hoot” for performers and audiences whatever their ages or individual musical tastes.
The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain believes that all genres of music are available for reinterpretation, as long as they are played on the ukulele! Since forming three decades ago, the orchestra has helped to build a new audience for what it calls the “bonsai guitar,” playing everything from rock to folk or classical to movie themes.
By royal request, the orchestra proudly performed at a private 90th birthday party for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle.
"Wonderfully clever."-David Bowie
