“A band ought to have a sound all of its own. It ought to have a personality.” Says Glenn Miller. With its unique jazz sound, the Glenn Miller Orchestra is considered to be one of the greatest bands of all time. The current band was formed in 1956 and has been touring worldwide ever since.
Bring a chair or blanket and don't forget to leave a little room for a dancing. Admission is FREE to the Summer Concert Series thanks to our Series Sponsor, the Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo. No ticket or registration is required for admission into this event!
