Direct from the UK, the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain will make its Houston debut, presented by Society for the Performing Arts. This group of seven all-singing, all-strumming musicians believe that all genres of music, whether Tchaikovsky or Otis Redding, are available for reinterpretation — as long as they are played on the ukulele.

Playing intricate melodies, simple tunes and complex chords, the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain wields the limitations of the instrument with virtuosic expertise, revealing unsuspected musical insight.
