Metropolitan Skyliners Big Swing Band

Enjoy the sounds of Big Band Swing with the fifteen member Metropolitan Skyliners Big Swing Band. Though first made popular over 70 years ago, the big band swing sound has a popularity that spans the years. Swing has recently been rediscovered by a new generation. Originally founded by John Micalizio, a member of the Tommy Dorsey Band and arranger for George Shearing and other major recording artists, the Metropolitan Skyliners Big Swing Band has, since 1952, remained true in style and composition- performing only the original arrangements of the great band leaders. The Sunday Concert will present the words of great band leaders of the 30's through the 90's with names like Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Chuck Mangione, and Stan Getz. The concert is free. No ticets are necessary. Seats are on a "first come" basis.
