The ukulele is a handy, easy-to-carry instrument. You really feel like packing it in your suitcase and pulling it out on every occasion to play together. At Monopolele there are plenty of possibilities to play together: let’s find out together some of them!
This year, we asked also four orchestras to set a good example!
Sunday morning at the Porto Vecchio the following orchestras will take turns on stage:
A recently formed orchestra of passionate ukulele players who are growing around a predominantly Italian repertoire directed and arranged by the maestros Dario Bellaveglia and Daniele Dencs, our friends from Ukus in Fabula!
A refined ensemble from Lombardy (which for us Southerners is still a foreign place!). LeleOrchestra will delight us with the atmospheres of great Italian composers. Cinematographic atmospheres for a touch of great refinement.
From faraway Sweden, they join us with a set full of energy and fun. Because, as they say, the ukulele is the only instrument with joy built in.
Yes! UkuleleTuesday will also be present on the orchestra stage. Our friends from Dublin will close with a set overflowing with energy and will lead us by the hand even in the opening of the first evening Jam Session
Like last year, we will meet at the end of the evening concerts and until late at night to continue making music together! The opening of the jams this year will be cheered and enriched by a concert by the UkuleleTuesday who will accompany us and lead us in a choral moment where everyone (no shyness!) will be invited to play and sing.
The same formula will be repeated every night for three nights of magic and fun!
Finally, this year, the less shy can take a chance and play on stage for our unmissable Sunday afternoon open-mic. You can sing and play alone or in a group. The only limits are time (10 minutes) and your shyness! Register here!
In Monopoli, the sea, the sun, the beauty of the city, good food, wine, and love will make you want to sing and play your ukulele!
Do it in the 5 UkuSpots that we will set up in the most beautiful places in the historic center to play together with new friends and let the whole world know that we’re having fun like there’s no tomorrow! Come back soon to this site to download the official Monopolele songbook, learn here about the exact locations in the city, and organize for the colorful parades that will bring music around the alleys!
Here are all the ways to come together with our ukuleles! Now, all that’s missing is you!
