Glenn Miller Orchestra

Sat, May 10, 2025, 16:00
Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)
Glenn Miller Orchestra, Scandinavia
The Glenn Miller Orchestra draws attention to world peace 80 years after the end of World War II, and highlights the importance of Glenn Miller’s music in this context. The big band welcomes 21 additional musicians at this concert, thus replicating the lineup of the Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band. We hear a series of original arrangements, some of which have not been played since the war.Through his music and the unique sound of the orchestra, Glenn Miller created his own genre of swing in the jazz world. In just four years, he launched 23 number one hits – more than Elvis and The Beatles. Glenn Miller became the biggest music icon in the US. He volunteered to join the military and brought his music to Europe through his military orchestra. This would ultimately cost him his life: he disappeared in an airplane over the English Channel. But his orchestra still performs his music all over the world, more than 80 years after his passing.Glenn Miller Orchestra Scandinavia formed in 2010 with a license from Glenn Miller Productions, Inc., New York, USA. Based in Stockholm, the orchestra is led by trombone player Jan Slottenäs and regularly tours Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. Regarded by many internationally as the leading Glenn Miller orchestra, the ensemble includes several young musicians from Sweden’s jazz elite.

Konzerthaus Berlin, Großer Saal (Berlin)
B'Rock Orchestra, Anna Meredith (Sound), Nadja Zwiener (Baroque violin), Simon Hendry (Sound)
From the awakening of spring to the intensity of summer and the darkness of winter - ‘ANNO’ evokes the course of a year with Vivaldi's ‘Four Seasons’ and turns this extremely well-known music into something new once again. Combined with electro-acoustic compositions by Anna Meredith and a light show, the result is a one-hour concert performance that brings together electronic and baroque, complex and catchy. Anna Meredith is a composer, performer and producer. Her music moves between contemporary music, pop, electro and experimental rock. The B'Rock Orchestra from Ghent describes itself as a ‘forward-thinking period orchestra’ - an unusual baroque ensemble that performs on historical instruments with a view to the present and future. They characterise their style as ‘intuitive, ambitious and accessible’ and are always on the lookout for artists with whom they can realise visionary projects.
