Glenn Miller Orchestra

Overview

The Glenn Miller Orchestra is an institution almost as old as jazz itself. Yet for all the toes it’s set tapping and the charlestons it’s put in motion, it hasn’t come to Australia before. Until now.

The legendary big band, now under the leadership of Rick Gerber, have been trumping up nostalgia all over the country with concerts in city and country alike, and they’re culminating their Australian tour with some shows at Melbourne’s Hamer Hall.

They’ll be playing classics from the Andrews Sisters to Sinatra to the brassy tunes that kept our grandparents going through World War II.  While said grandparents are likely to turn out in droves, the Miller big band has the verve to appeal to the younger crowd as well.  Appearing with the Moonlight Serenade Singers and the Broadway Swing Dancers, they'll be bringing a little bit of history and a whole lotta old school fun.
