Step back in time with the iconic sounds of the Big Band era! Directed by Chris Dean, The Syd Lawrence Orchestra brings to life the music that once filled the grand dance halls. This electrifying orchestra guarantees to get your toes tapping with their masterful recreation of legendary bands like Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Tommy Dorsey, Woody Herman – not to forget a touch of Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett too!
Featuring a dynamite blend of outstanding soloists and vocalists, impeccable section work, and a hard-swinging rhythm section, the orchestra delivers a performance that will transport you to a bygone era. The ultimate recipe for the best Big Band show around!
