Big Band Era Revived at HS Convention Center

The Glenn Miller Orchestra vocal selections includes songs made famous by Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, Bob Eberly, Rosemary Clooney, and other vocal idols.

Tickets are now on sale for the November 12 performance of the Glenn Miller Orchestra at Horner Hall in the Hot Springs Convention Center. The Miller Orchestra will be the second of three big-band orchestra performances sponsored by Visit Hot Springs this fall. 

The third performance in the series will be Juke Box Saturday Night on Friday, December 3, according to Visit Hot Springs Marketing Director Bill Solleder. 

“We’ll have the dance floor set up for each of the shows,” Solleder said, “and we encourage everyone to get up and dance to the sounds of these legendary orchestras.”

The Glenn Miller Orchestra consists of the music director, five saxophone players, four trumpeters, four trombonists, piano, bass and drums. There are two vocalists. Performances include the legendary Glenn Miller hits, including “Moonlight Serenade,” “Sunrise Serenade,” “St. Louis Blues March,” “A String of Pearls,” “Elmer’s Tune,” “In the Mood” and dozens of others.

Jukebox Saturday Night is a musical revue of the great big bands from the 1930s, ‘40s and ‘50s. The performances celebrate America’s Swing Era with various styles of music including swing, ballads, cha-chas, waltzes and tangos.

Doors for both shows will open at 6 p.m. and the shows will begin at 7. Tickets are $35 per concert for reserved table seating and are available at prekindle.com or by calling Bill Solleder at 501-321-2027.
