The Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra is coming to St. Joseph from New Zealand this February.

The Orchestra will take place at the Historic Missouri Theatre on Saturday, Feb. 20th at 7:30 p.m.

Earlier this fall the Orchestra sent 30 ukuleles to Saint Joseph to be distributed through the Performing Arts Association.  PAA teamed up with Hosea Elementary’s music teacher Joshua Lock who has been working with the students.  Hosea students will also have a chance to play with the Orchestra on stage at the theatre.

The group, features eleven ukuleles anchored by a double bass and was co-founded in 2005 in Willington, New Zealand. The song selections include a mix of modern and traditional tunes.

The PAA said tickets are on sale now and range from $12-$42.
