It's intriguing, but why is the theme "Bach to Texas with Aloha"?
What does BACH, one of the greatest composers of all time, have to do with
Texas, Aloha ... and You? This year the Lone Star Uke Fest is very proud to kick
off the festival with the first ever classical and peace related ukulele
concert! Your favorite performers will really be "puttin' on the ritz". The
festival is in Texas, so we've got to flavor it with a little swing and
our talent from Hawaii will add a touch of the Aloha spirit. And, if you've been
to the Lone Star Uke Fest before ... this year, you'll be coming Bach to
Texas!
The festival is honored to present the classical concert at the
new Interfaith Peace Chapel, a modern masterpiece designed by
award-winning and world-renowned architect Philip Johnson. It is a brilliant,
inspirational design of "sculpture as architecture" with incredibly live
acoustics.

The host hotel and site for the festival and all classes is the Holiday Inn Select (Galleria) ... and they have offered the same great room rate as last year!
We are pleased to announce that a portion of proceeds from the Festival will be used to purchase ukes and provide training for a "Ukes In The Classroom" program in the North Texas Area!
