Overview

Renowned for their winning combination of charming Kiwi humour, the disarmingly small ukulele, and sublime musicality , the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra is one of the world's great modern ukulele acts.  The wildly popular New Zealand ensemble create instant joy and lasting magic wherever they go, armed with high-octane ukulele solos, heavenly harmonies and outrageous costumes.  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. 

Delighting audiences of all ages, the orchestra's signature sound features many types of ukuleles, a double bass and a host of gorgeous voices performing harmonious and hilarious renditions of modern and traditional tunes.  The Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra presents the ukulele as it's never been played before, featuring songs made famous by arists such as Justin Timberlake, Dolly Parton, Elvis, The Beatles, Hall and Oates, Cyndi Lauper, Prince, Kenny Rogers and Kings of Leon, alongside tunes from the South Pacific, packaged into a spectacular, unmissable funfest.
