Event Description
Tickets are selling fast for the World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra concert hosted by the First Congregational Church of Madison part of their Music at the Meetinghouse concert series! With its unique and timeless jazz sound, the Glenn Miller Orchestra is considered to be one of the greatest bands of all time.
General admission is $35; the front two rows are $95, and the next two rows are $65. All balcony seats except the inner perimeter have limited viewing and are $20. Choose your seat and pay online, and simply print out your tickets bring them with you the evening of the concert.
The legendary Glenn Miller was one of the most successful of all dance bandleaders back in the Swing Era of the 1930’s and 40’s. A matchless string of hit records, the constant impact of radio broadcasts and the drawing power at theatres, hotels and dance pavilion, built and sustained the momentum of popularity. On December 15, 1944, Major Miller took off in a plane from Europe to precede his band to France, disappearing over the English Channel, never to be seen again.
With the release of the major motion movie The Glenn Miller Story, featuring Jimmy Stewart and June Allyson in 1954, interest and popular demand led the Miller Estate to authorize the formation of the present Glenn Miller Orchestra. In 1956, under the direction of drummer Ray McKinley who had become the unofficial leader of the Army Air Force Band after Glenn’s disappearance, the reformed Glenn Miller Orchestra performed its first concert and has been on the road ever since. Today, the 18 member ensemble, under the direction of vocalist Nick Hilscher, continues to play many of the original Miller arrangements. Just as it was in Glenn’s day, the Glenn Miller Orchestra today is still the most sought after big band in the world.
