The World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra® is the most sought after big band in the world today. Glenn Miller was one of the most successful of all bandleaders in the Swing Era of the 1930s and 40s. Glenn disbanded his musical organization in 1942 to volunteer for the Army where he organized and led the Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band entertaining troops in Europe. On December 15, 1944, Major Miller took off in a plane from Europe never to be seen again. The army declared him officially dead a year later.

The Miller Estate authorized the formation of the present The World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra® in 1956, and they’ve been touring ever since playing an average of 300 dates a year all around the world. Songs for the evening will include I’ve Got a Gal in Kalamazoo, Chattanooga Choo-Choo, Someone to Watch Over Me, Moonlight Serenade and more. The World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra® consists of the music director, saxophone players, trumpeters, trombonists, rhythm musicians, and vocalists.
