On Wednesday, November 8, 2011, at 8 PM, the Rainier III Auditorium in Monaco will be brought to life with the music of Glenn Miller. A return to the 1940s, the golden age of big bands.
Glenn Miller’s music has definitively influenced the history of music, especially thanks to his original way of understanding and interpreting swing, with tracks like Moonlight Serenade, American Patrol, Chattanooga Choo Choo, In the Mood, and String of Pearls.
Formed in 1998 in England, the GLENN MILLER ORCHESTRA continues the Glenn Miller style and the lineup imagined by the musician: a conductor, a melodic section composed of saxophones, trumpets, and trombones, a rhythmic section including a bass, a piano, and drums, and two vocalists, one male and one female. Its repertoire consists of over 200 pieces, mostly from the artist’s original repertoire. Prestigious names like Jerry Gray, Billy May, and Bill Finegan, among others, have contributed to the Orchestra’s international fame.
At the intersection of jazz and dance music, the Glenn Miller Orchestra with conductor Ray McVay will offer a return to the 1940s, a return to the golden age of big bands.
