The
World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra will return for one performance only in the the Holland Performing Arts Center’s Kiewit Concert Hall Sunday, March 21, 2010 at 2:00 p.m.Alton “Glenn” Miller, a native of Clarinda, Iowa and one-time Nebraska resident, was one of the most successful dance bandleaders in the swing era of the 1930s and ‘40s. Having played and recorded with big-band greats Benny Goodman, Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey and Coleman Hawkins in the early 1930s, Miller broke away from The Ray Noble Orchestra, which he directed, and started his own band in 1937. The first band had limited success, despite week-long enagements, but just 12 months later, Miller launched his second band. That band went on to produce record-breaking hits such as “Tuxedo Junction,” “In the Mood,” and “Chattanooga Choo Choo.” A matchless string of hit records and radio broadcasts followed until the Glenn Miller Orchestra disbanded during the height of its popularity, when Miller volunteered for the Army and subsequently began leading the famous Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band. Miller mysteriously disappeared in 1944 and the Army pronounced him dead in 1945. Due to popular demand, the Miller Estate authorized the formation of the present Glenn Miller Orchestra in 1956. The 18-member band, led by musical director and trombonist Larry O’Brien, continues to play many of the original Miller arrangements as well as more modern selections in the big-band style. The World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra played to a sold-out crowd at the Holland Center in 2008. Tickets are on sale now for The World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra and may be purchased through Ticket Omaha online at TicketOmaha.com, by phone at (402) 345-0606 or in person at the Ticket Omaha Box Office inside the Holland Center, 13th and Douglas streets. Tickets for The World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra are priced $19-$40. For more information you may visit the website at www.omahaperformingarts.org
