The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain live in Wiesbaden

Experience The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain live on June 26th

The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain is scheduled to perform at the Kurhaus Wiesbaden on June 26, 2026. The ensemble is known for its inventive and virtuosic playing of the ukulele, presenting a diverse repertoire that extends far beyond traditional Hawaiian music. Their performances incorporate arrangements of classical pieces, popular songs spanning several decades, and original compositions, all delivered with a distinctive British sense of humour and theatrical flair. They utilize ukulele ensembles in varied sizes and tunings to create a surprisingly full and dynamic sound.

The Kurhaus Wiesbaden, completed in 1911, is a significant architectural landmark and cultural venue in Wiesbaden, Germany. Designed in the Neo-Classical style by Friedrich von Thiersch, it was originally conceived as a combined spa and entertainment complex reflecting the city’s historical status as a prominent spa town. Throughout its history, the Kurhaus has hosted numerous prestigious events including balls, concerts, and political gatherings. It features a large festival hall (the Friedrich-Dürrenmatt-Saal), various smaller halls, a casino, and extensive parkland. The building underwent extensive renovation in the early 2000s to restore its original grandeur while modernizing its facilities.
