The Glenn Miller Orchestra performs its holiday show In the Christmas Mood at Bass Concert Hall, pairing timeless hits with seasonal favourites.
The Glenn Miller Orchestra plays Bass Concert Hall on Sunday, December 20, with their holiday show In the Christmas Mood. It's a matinee, starting at 3 PM, so it works if you're planning a full day of holiday things around the city.
The set is built around two sides of the same coin. On one hand, there are the seasonal standards: Home for the Holidays, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, White Christmas, Jingle Bells, and I'll Be Home for Christmas. On the other, the orchestra keeps in the songs they're known for, the ones that have stayed in the rotation since the beginning: Chattanooga-Choo Choo, Moonlight Serenade, In the Mood, and Pennsylvania 6-5000. The two halves run together, so you get the holiday songs and the swing hits in the same afternoon.
There's some history behind the name. The Glenn Miller Orchestra has been touring since it formed in 1956, and it's still playing that same jazz sound and those same arrangements. In the Christmas Mood is their new holiday show, and it's how they're doing the season this year. The whole thing is open to all ages, so it's a show you can bring the kids to.
