About

The Long Beach Ukulele Orchestra was founded by Benoir and Jeff Alan in the Fall of 2013 to provide a platform for education and performance.

Mission

We educate and facilitate a fun and relaxing atmosphere for anyone interested in playing Ukulele. We intend on performing many concerts and releasing recordings in the near future.

Description

Our group has been evolving from a handful of players to a small ensemble of about 10 to 15 regulars. We rehearse Tuesday evenings at Studio Noir in the West End of Long Beach under the direction of Benoir and Jeff Alan. The 1 hour classes focus on basic Uke techniques and advanced playing skills like soloing and flamenco styles. Our repertoire is a mix of cover songs and a few originals that were well received at our first recital in December 2013, several recitals in 2014 and 2015. We have performed at Arts in The Plaza and intend to perform at other events around Long Island. We welcome new members of all levels and age. There is a $20 fee to attend our class/rehearsals and we’ve expanded into two classes. We also incorporate other acoustic instruments such as violin, viola, flute, percussion and upright bass. Acoustic guitars will also be brought into the mix as Benoir has been heading in a Rhys Chatham inspired direction with large ensemble compositions in the future. FIOS “Push Pause” produced a feature on our ensemble that aired in February 2014 and can be found at this link.
