Dresdner Musikfestspiele: The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain
About the Event
Experience an unforgettable show with The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, a delightful fusion of wit and musical virtuosity.
In an astonishing milestone, the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain is set to celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2025. The group has already charmed the audience in Dresden in anticipation of the festive year in 2024, earning an immediate invitation for a return performance, and proving without a doubt that they masterfully blend top‐notch music with unmatched entertainment. Although the performers have become icons with their 'bonsai guitars,' they ensure everything is lighthearted and playfully challenge musical norms. The anniversary performance will certainly spotlight their signature blend of excellent tunes and quintessential British comedy. Expect an eclectic musical repertoire, ranging from ABBA to ZZ Top, with detours through Tchaikovsky, Nirvana, bluegrass, and Lady Gaga, with more surprises in store!
