Hailing from the home of The Hobbit movies, and sharing DNA with Flight of the Conchords (their co-founder was Bret “Brit” McKenzie), the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra are critically acclaimed as “New Zealand’s hottest music/comedy ensemble.” (Christchurch Arts Festival).
The wildly popular Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra are renowned for their winning combination of charming Kiwi humour, disarmingly small instruments and sublime musicality – a joyful formula that’s in hot demand worldwide.
Featuring ten performers, the band’s on-stage antics are legendary amongst delirious audiences. Their comedic banter is spontaneous, and when they burst into song, the sweet sounds can silence a room in a nanosecond, or bring a crowd of thousands to their feet. The song choices themselves – a canny selection of modern and traditional tunes – highlight the musical excellence and comic brilliance of the group. Expect to hear their take on Hall and Oates, Justin Timberlake and Dolly Parton alongside tunes from the South Pacific and indie music legends like David Kilgour!
The Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra’s USA tour will feature the band's virtuoso ukulele skills, gorgeous multi-part vocal harmonies, hilarious audience participation, and the occasional surprise special guest, depending on who’s around.
