Start planning your summer learning and perfecting your ukulele skills! UkeFest Artistic Directors Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer return along with Vinícius Vivas, Robert Jones, The Hula Honeys (Ginger Johnson and Robyn Kneubuhl), Zoë Jorgenson, and Aline Kelly for 5 days dedicated to this small-but-mighty instrument. Registration includes 8 hours of skill-based classes, 5 hours of choose-your-own classes, jam sessions, admission to the student and instructor showcases, and a grand finale Live from the Lawn performance.
