Center Stage Series Performance
George Hincliffe's
Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain
Friday, April 12

“Good evening, Wartburg!” were their opening words when they last performed at Luther. Expect another evening full of British humor with music ranging from Tchaikovsky to Nirvana via Otis Redding and spaghetti western soundtracks. This much-beloved group returns to prove that the ukulele might be small, but it sure is mighty. Get your tickets at the Box Office or at tickets.luther.edu. General admission or reserved seat tickets are FREE for students with CAF. This is a Green card event.
