The Glenn Miller Orchestra was formed by Glenn Miller in 1937.  The composition of five saxophones, four trumpets, four trombones, and a three-man rhythm section is the typical big band style that Miller first made up, and added a clarinet lead to the sax section. This rendition style is also the orchestra’s original. After Miller died, various musicians continued the Glenn Miller Orchestra.

The Orchestra still pleases fans all over the world, and is one of the world’s most popular big bands. People can enjoy their rendition somewhere in the world at least one time a year.  Their striking performance while playing instruments amuses people.  This is exactly the big band for entertaining.

The concert will feature all well-known favorites including Little Brown Jug, String of Pearls, Tuxedo Junction, American Patrol and Moonlight Serenade.
