'The Ladies Who Swing the Band' Coming to Hamden

The Hamden Art Commission continues its 2015-2016 season of “Peter C. Hereld Sensational Sunday Performance Series” with a concert entitled “The Ladies Who Swing the Band.”

Hamden will welcome the local debut of the New York group, String of Pearls, on Nov. 22 at 2 pm.

This female vocal trio performs vintage “girl group” music and modern vocal jazz, combining a swing style with musical excellence. The trio breathes new life into the great music of such groups as the Andrews Sisters, Mills Brothers and Count Basie. They also perform a variety of original arrangements.

The performance will be held in the handicapped-accessible Thornton Wilder Hall, Miller Cultural Complex, 2901 Dixwell Ave., Hamden.

Admission is $7 general admission/ $5 for senior citizens, students and children 12 and under. Tickets are sold at the door only.

The series is presented with generous support from the estate of former Commissioner Emeritus Peter C. Hereld. For details, contact the Arts Commission at (203) 287-2546 or mcoleman@hamden.com; www.hamdenartscommission.com.
