Ukuleles, Wit, and World Class: The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain in Amberg
Since 1985, the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain has astonished concert halls – now the legendary ensemble brings its unmistakable mix of British humor, virtuosic orchestration, and pop culture to the Stadttheater Amberg. An evening where pop, rock, classical, and film themes shine anew on four strings, and the live atmosphere crackles from the very first chord.
Sound Colors on Four Strings
Seven musicians, many ukuleles – from soprano to bass: The orchestra unfolds a surprisingly broad sound palette that does without drums and backing tracks. Instead, precise synchronization, fine dynamics, and multi-part singing carry the arrangements; well-known songs take an intelligent twist between post-punk performance and chamber music parody.
From ABBA to ZZ Top – Reinvented
The repertoire spans from Tchaikovsky to Nirvana, from bluegrass to Broadway. With dry moderation and perfectly timed delivery, moments arise where audience mood, lighting dramaturgy, and the pointed acoustics of the hall merge into a concert experience.
Four Decades of Cult Status
Founded by George Hinchliffe and Kitty Lux, the formation has developed into a frequently cited British institution – celebrated on stages from the Royal Albert Hall to Carnegie Hall and regularly praised by serious media. Remaining independent, the ensemble tours worldwide and releases its own recordings – always with unmistakable direction of its own aesthetic.

Conclusion
