Watch the students of Island Ukuleles from Canada perform a program of Hawaiian tunes, with a hula show by Halau Hula O Napualani on May 19, 2012 from 2p-4p  at New Hope Seattle Church 19350 Firlands Dr., Shoreline, WA 98133

A tantalizing, no boundaries, program of music from Hawaiian tunes like “Henne Henne Kou Aka,” and “Hawaii Aloha” to rock’n roll classics like “Proud Mary” and Johnny B. Goode”. Island Ukuleles provides an offering of music of the eras with happy swing time tunes like “Aba Daba Honeymoon,” to the sultry and rich flavored Spanish “Mantillas” complimented by the delicate, delightful harmonies of Mozart’s “Minuet and Trio.” Island Ukulele’s vocal and instrumental music is diverse, thoughtful and wonderfully entertaining!

Youth representing twelve high and middle schools from the Victoria area in British Columbia, Canada are given a multi-dimensional musical experience with “Island Ukuleles”. They are encouraged to master skills, to excel and to develop into confident performers. This exceptional family of ukulele players represents the good in young people. They are community contributors, dedicated and supportive of one another and they love to entertain at home and abroad! They especially love to work, play and tour with their ever energetic and enthusiastic Music Director, Tina Horwood. Visit http://www.islandukulele.org for more information about the group.
