The best-selling recording artist from 1939 to 1943, Glenn Miller was at the forefront of big band music, bringing swing to the American people.

The orchestra performs not only Glenn Miller's own pieces, but a number of other hit songs as well, including "Someone To Watch Over Me," "Swing Low Sweet Chariot," and "Danny Boy."
