ABOUT THE ARTISTS
The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, that’s
the one featuring founders George Hinchliffe
and Kitty Lux, has already enjoyed touring in the
United States several times. For those who have
not yet encountered it, the essential point is that
it is an original musical ensemble featuring only
ukuleles of various sizes and registers, accompanied by just the natural voices of the performers.
Harsher critics have stated the opinion that the
Ukulele Orchestra formed their repertoire based
on any music considered inappropriate for the
instrument, with a “shopping trolley dash through
genres” and musical history. For this USA tour
the original Ukes chose from their exploration of
American folk and blues, heavy metal, bebop
and jazz, punk, reggae, electronic dance music
and even Chinese melodies gleaned from their
2014 tour of China.
In Europe and America the Orchestra are best
known for playing versions of famous rock songs
and film themes, sometimes changing these
so that the expectations of the audience are
subverted. Sometimes a rock song will be
changed into a jazz idiom, or sometimes several
songs which are known from different genres are
combined in one “soup of contrasts.” The
founding brief for the group was to have fun and
“not to lose money.” Incredibly, throughout its
thirty-year career, the group has succeeded in
both not losing money AND incidentally making
millions of dollars. It has been seen worldwide by
audiences including members of the British Royal
Family and other crowned heads of Europe, at
the Houses of Parliament in London, and by many
millions of television and online viewers. In one
territory, the Orchestra has played to audiences
which comprise sixty percent of the population!
When The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain
(may one say that this is the one featuring the
founders George Hinchliffe and Kitty Lux) began
in 1985, the public opinion was that an orchestra
consisting entirely of ukuleles in different sizes
was a strange concept. This was something that
attracted the founders. The Orchestra members
ABOUT THE ARTISTs
CONTINUED
at that time had experience of many kinds
of music and yet had become tired of the
conventions of the music business world as well
as the conventions of performance and genre
stereotyping which were prevalent at that time.
The idea was to make something fresh and
entertaining, both modern and old-fashioned, in
a different style which deviated from the current
performance fashion. People liked the result.
Today, after many years, the Orchestra finds that
wherever they go, people are now playing
ukuleles, often in groups. Many of these
enthusiasts tell the Orchestra that they were
inspired to play the instrument after seeing and
hearing this, the original Ukulele Orchestra. Now
there are many ukulele orchestras, some
acknowledging the pioneering work of the
UOGB, others claiming ignorance of this rich
history, but none of them existing before this,
the original Ukulele Orchestra.
In 2015 The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain
celebrates sixteen million minutes of “ukuleleation,” having been “on the road” for thirty
years and counting. While it is not normally in the
nature of these artists from Britain to “blow their
own trumpets,” or in this case to “pluck their own
ukuleles,” it is undeniably a fact that The Ukulele
Orchestra of Great Britain (you know, the one
featuring George Hinchliffe and Kitty Lux) has
become not only a national institution, but also
a worldwide phenomenon. Among their many
international concerts and festival appearances,
they have “sold right out” twice at Carnegie
Hall in New York, twice at The Royal Albert Hall
in London and also at Sydney Opera House in
Australia.
The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain has been
featured in a CNN report in 2012 and featured
on CBS This Morning in 2013. The Orchestra
has been invited by the British Broadcasting
Corporation to play live on air for BBC Radio 3
(the classical music channel) as well as for BBC
Radio 1 (the rock, Electronic Dance Music and
youth music channel), and to play live on other
BBC channels many times. They have taken part
in The Electric Proms (in a collaboration with The
Kaiser Chiefs), and the BBC Promenade Concerts
at the Royal Albert Hall in London (“The
Proms”), where they were the “fastest selling late
night prom in history,” selling many thousands
of tickets for the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in
London very quickly. At this concert the Ukulele
Orchestra performed Jerusalem and other
classics of the Last Night of the Proms, the
celebrated 120-year-old concert series which
launched in 1895. Around 2,000 ukulele players
in the audience joined the Orchestra in playing
passages from Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. A
DVD of this 2010 BBC Prom concert at The Royal
Albert Hall is available to order from the website,
www.ukuleleorchestra.com.
The Orchestra has recorded and released
records, CDs and DVDs on its own independent
label, as well as with CBS, Sony, Discethnique,
Longman, Volume, Tachyon and The Ministry of
Sound, as well as appearing on Jools Holland’s
Hootenany. Original compositions and songs by
the Orchestra have been used on television on
film, and in radio plays, as well as in performance
by other musicians. They have collaborated with
the British Film Institute in providing music for
silent films and also musically with Madness,
Robbie Williams, Ant & Dec, Yusuf Islam (Cat
Stevens), Stefan Raab, Rainer Hersch and a full
symphony orchestra performing at the Royal
Festival Hall in London. Beatle George Harrison
was a well known fan who established contact
and played with the orchestra.
In addition to performing at theaters and concert
halls, the orchestra has also packed the crowds
in at rock festivals such as Glastonbury, The
ABOUT THE ARTISTs
CONTINUED
Big Chill, WOMAD, The Electric Picnic, and
before 170,000 people in Hyde Park, as well as
playing in seven cathedrals in England and Wales.
The group has been commissioned to write
commemorative concerts, e.g. The Cecil Sharp
100-Year Memorial Concert in 2012 and The 100Year World War One Memorial Concert in 2014
for Birmingham Town Hall.
One unique feature of this, the original Ukulele
Orchestra, is that although there are many
examples of collaboration, they have remained
a determinedly independent concern. Relying on
their own resources and an email list of tens of
thousands they continue to run their own
recording and publishing and to eschew
mainstream advertising and record companies.
Celebrity fans include Sir Paul McCartney, David
Bowie, Monty Python’s Michael Palin, Brian Eno,
Amanda Palmer, Neil Gaiman, George Benson,
Joe Brown and Bette Midler. This is the Ukulele of
Great Britain’s first engagement at the Hopkins
Center.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT RESIDENCY
ALVIN LUCIER wIth
thE CALLIthUMPIAN CONSORt
thu apr 30 7 pm • RollINS ChAPEl
The New England Conservatory-based Callithumpian Consort performs works
by Lucier, whose pioneering mixing of acoustic sound and pure wave oscillators
creates shimmering, ethereal soundscapes. The program includes the premiere
of a work celebrating the founding role Lucier’s father, a 1918 Dartmouth
graduate, played in the College’s first jazz ensemble; and Still Lives, in which a
pianist duets with sine waves meditatively tracing the shapes of common
household items.
tIG NOtARO comedian
wed MaY 20 7 pm • SPAUlDINg AUDIToRIUM
A favorite on Conan, This American Life and her top-ranking weekly podcast,
Professor Blastoff, Notaro rocketed to fame three years ago when her
“gorgeously acute stand-up” set (Louis CK) about a platter of recent
personal horrors—her beloved mother’s sudden death, a bad breakup and a
breast cancer diagnosis—went viral. One of Rolling Stone’s “50 Funniest
People Now” she brings her signature deadpan delivery to guest roles on
network and cable TV, and at comedy and music festivals around the world.
