DESCRIPTION:Did you miss this program or would like to listen to it again? 
 Check-out the podcast on Alaska Public Media here.\n\n\n\nThis program is 
 part of the Alaska World Music Festival. For more information about other 
 world music events occurring in the community\, please visit the Festival 
 page here.\n\n\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nAbout the group:\nThe sweet st
 rumming of the ukulele invokes a feeling of island bliss. But one minute o
 f listening to The United Kingdom Ukulele Orchestra will make you realize 
 this isn't flip-flops music. Punk rock\, rock and roll\, pop music and old
 ies - you name it\, this octet will play it on their ukuleles. The United 
 Kingdom Ukulele Orchestra shatters all stereotypes about this sweet island
  string instrument and shows you its true toe-tapping awesomeness.\n\nAbou
 t Ukuleles for Peace:\nPeter Moss and all the musicians of the United King
 dom Ukulele Orchestra are delighted to be supporters of the children's pro
 ject in Israel “Ukeleles for peace”\, which was founded and realized b
 y the music lecturer Paul Moore several years ago together with both Israe
 li and Palestinian children.\n\nA part of the wages of the orchestra will 
 be donated every evening to this award winning reconciliation project\, in
  which kids with the help of music and inexpensive musical instruments dis
 cover\, together with parents and schools\, a way forward throughout this 
 war-torn region. “Ukuleles for Peace” is a grass roots project founded
  by Israeli citizen Paul Moore to familiarize and unite Israeli and Arab c
 hildren through fun and music.\n\nAfter years of living through the misera
 ble situation between Israel and the Palestine Arabs\, Paul asked himself 
 what he could do to create more opportunities for Jews and Arabs to meet i
 n a positive way. Paul\, an internationally acclaimed musician\, decided t
 o combine his love for the Ukulele and his experience in teaching music to
  children to create “Ukuleles For Peace”.\n\nPaul is now teaching the 
 Ukulele in Jewish and Arab schools and forming orchestras of children who 
 meet once a week in the Jewish schools and once a week in the Arab schools
  to practice and then\, perform together. The ultimate goal is to have Isr
 aeli and Arab school children performing together with the full support an
 d involvement of both parents and school officials.\n\n\n\nThis program is
  presented in partnership with:\n\n\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n&nbsp\;
