Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

Join Faculty Director Victor Preciado for a special concert outing, where we will engage in thougthful conversation around music before and after the show. Hailed as "the best musical entertainment in the country," (The Independent) the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain returns to our stage to celebrate four decades (and 400,000,000 plucks.) From ABBA to ZZ Top, Tchaikovsky to Nirvana, bluegrass to Broadway, these singing and strumming uke superstars tackle an unexpected menagerie of music with off-beat humor and four-stringed virtuosity. Quirky, fun and shockingly eclectic, these rock-star strummers promise an "oversized dose of unexpected hipness." (The New York Times)

Join Faculty Director Victor Preciado for a special concert outing, where we will engage in thoughtful conversation around music before and after the showThe Czech Republic’s Tiburtina Ensemble performs exquisite interpretations of medieval repertoire with an all-female collective of vocalists and a harpist. The ensemble comes to Philadelphia for the first time with Celestial Harmony, a program of glorious music by Hildegard of Bingen, an influential musician, theologian and healer, and one of few prominent women of the time. Hailed for “creating a musical experience that was as enchanting, as it was engrossing,” (New York Classical Review) Tiburtina Ensemble explores the visionary legacy of a true Renaissance woman.
