THE LEGEND OF GLENN MILLER
The Music of the legendary Glenn Miller, who disappeared in mysterious circumstances over the Channel on 15th December 1944, continues to enchant succeeding generations. From the excitement of In The Mood to the nostalgic yearnings of Moonlight Serenade audiences never tire of this wonderful music. The Syd Lawrence Orchestra faithfully recreates the sound of the original Miller Orchestra using the transcriptions that Syd himself devoted his life to creating. Including all the Miller favourites, A String of Pearls, Pensylvannia 6-5000, Anvil Chorus, I Got a Gal in Kalamazoo, Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree and many many more. This is the ultimate Miller show, which you will not hear bettered anywhere.
This show is also available with the addition of a full string section as a tribute to Glenn’s AAF Orchestra.
