About Us Ithaca Ukes is a club of ukulele enthusiasts in Ithaca, NY and beyond. Started by Robbert van Renesse and Emoretta Yang from a ukulele workshop during Ithaca's first Porchfest in 2008, Ithaca Ukes have marched in the Ithaca Festival parade, played for the Cayuga Waterfront Trail's Water Music and the Holiday Fair at the former Neighborhood Pride. We try to meet at least monthly to jam on the last Saturday of each month, at Hickey's Music Center. Other events, such as classes, workshops, house concerts, uke flash mobs, etc., will be announced via the group's e-mail Yahoo group, as well as on the Ithaca Ukes Facebook page. Strum some! |
