The legendary Glenn Miller Orchestra from New-York will perform one night only in Little Rock as they tour the world, bringing timeless classics like “In the Mood,” “Moonlight Serenade,” “Chattanooga Choo Choo,” “Pennsylvania 6-5000,” “String of Pearls” and “Tuxedo Junction” back to the stage. Even 75 years after founding his famous orchestra, Glenn Miller’s music is alive and well.
Tonight at 8pm, twenty musicians and singers will bring the unforgettable Glenn Miller sound to the Robinson Center Music Hall, performing timeless songs that everyone remembers. This is a must-see show for jazz and swing fans alike or the incurable romantics who want to step back in time.
