Aurora Theatre springs into the season with the popular Aurora Swing Nights concert series with Salute to Hollywood on Thursday, April 16 at 8 p.m. With selections from some of the silver screen favorite, this will be a night to remember!

Led by jazz sax man Gary Dalton, Metro Jazz Club is comprised of two amazing vocalists, velvety crooner Jason Joines and zesty diva Amanda Richards. As a special performance, two stars from Aurora's highly anticipated 20th Anniversary Season opener and Tony Award-Winning production, Memphis, will be appearing as guest vocalists for this event.
