Weber State Cultural Affairs cultural life and performing arts education on the Northern Wasatch Front

Dear Friends

I kept running into ukuleles a couple years ago. (Still do, actually) On stages, videos and in the arms of students wandering around campus, it seems the ukulele is making a comeback - or a comeforward – of mythic proportions. Then a friend showed me a youtube video of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain and I knew that we needed a season of excitement and pure joyful fun that the ukulele could provide. So I held a date for them and started looking for more.

Adding Jake Shimabukuro was a no brainer, he's so good, so filled with light and looking to shine it onto the world. Then I found out that Eric Bibb was touring with Habib Koite and found a few more juicy pieces for us to enjoy. It all came together when Bobby McFerrin was confirmed. A fun, joyful, exciting season we can all look forward to!

We've made it easier to get tickets by working with the Browning Center and the Dee Event Center to offer many places to buy them, eliminating the service charges and making online ticket buying easy. Check out the ticket page at the end of the brochure, it's very relaxing.

Thank you all for your continued patronage and enjoyment of the series! This is our town and we have good, rich lives!

Diane
