The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

Mary Stuart Rogers Theater

The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, founded in 1985 by George Hinchliffe and Kitty Lux, features ukuleles of various sizes and registers from soprano to bass. The ensemble is best known for performing musically faithful but often tongue-in-cheek covers of popular songs and musical pieces from a wide variety of music genres taken "from the rich pageant of western music." 

Songs are often performed with a reinterpretation, sometimes with a complete genre twist, or well-known songs from multiple genres are seamlessly woven together. They are introduced with light-hearted deadpan humor, and juxtaposition is a feature of their act, the members of the orchestra wear semi-formal (black tie) evening dress and sit behind music stands, in a parody of a classical ensemble.
