African Children’s Choir

“It’s difficult to say who is having more fun— the choir or the audience.” —The Scotsman

Thursday, April 16 at 7:30 pm $36/$32$25

Performed entirely by children, this inspirational show blends joyful song and dance from across the African continent. Like millions of their peers, these children were orphaned by war or AIDS. With traditional instruments, incredible costumes, geographic video projections, over 10 African languages, and boundless enthusiasm, these young ambassadors show the world that Africa’s most vulnerable children have beauty, dignity, and unlimited ability. Through the music, the choir helps these children today, so they can help Africa tomorrow.

Presented in association with the Office of the Vice President for Human Resources, Diversity and Multicultural Affairs through the UVM President’s Initiative for Diversity.

Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

“Sheer fun and outright daffiness tied to first-rate musicality and comic timing.” —New York Times

Tuesday, April 21 at 7:30 pm $40/$32/$24

They’re funny, virtuosic, thought provoking, and mind boggling. The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain takes you on an eclectic musical adventure, strumming and singing everything from Flight of the Valkyries and Tchaikovsky to Nirvana and Lady Gaga. Today there are numerous ukulele orchestras, but this is the original—an ensemble famous for “perfectly polished professionalism, threaded through with dry wit and wry humor” (The Independent ). Bring your own ukulele and play along as part of the largest ukulele performance in Burlington!
