The Hoogland Center for the Arts is very excited to announce a performance by The World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra in the LRS Theatre on Tuesday, April 28 at 7:00 p.m.

Glenn Miller was one of the most successful of all dance bandleaders back in the Swing Era of the 1930’s and 40’s. A matchless string of hit records, the constant impact of radio broadcasts. and the drawing power at theatres, hotels and dance pavilions, built and sustained the momentum of popularity. 

Today, the 18-member ensemble continues to play many of the original Miller arrangements both from the civilian band and the AAFB libraries. Additionally, it also plays some more modern selections arranged and performed in the Miller style and sound. Just as it was in Glenn’s day, the Glenn Miller Orchestra today is still the most sought-after big band in the world.
