aBout tHe artiststhe 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, accompa-nied 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 ContinueDat 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 “ukule-leation,” 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

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 100- Year 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 wIththE CALLIthUMPIAN CONSORt thu apr 30 7 pm • RollINS ChAPElThe 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 AUDIToRIUMA 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.
