Ukulele Orchestra jako Brno

Ukulele Orchestra as Brno is a group of players and fans of the ukulele, originally a Hawaiian instrument resembling a small guitar, united by age and musical experience. The group was formed at the end of 2010, at that time still in a smaller number. After the first performances, a group of amateur and professional musicians quickly formed, who gradually built a unique approach and repertoire consisting of cover versions of well-known songs, presented with the aim of entertaining themselves and the audience. The path of the individual members to the ukulele was different, but the basic impulse was the inspiration from Tom Hodgkinson's book The Lazy Parent and personal contact with its author in connection with the Czech translation of the book. In it, the author - himself a promoter of the ukulele - highlights the advantages of this compact instrument with a unique sound and even claims that the ukulele should not be missing in any household. All this is evidenced by the ever-growing popularity of this instrument among professionals and music enthusiasts.
