Swingtime Big Band's Show

Huntington Summer Arts Festival at Heckscher Park Huntington Village – July 17

Swingtime Big Band is a 20-piece authentic swing band comprised of master interpreters of music from the Swing Era (mid-1930's through early 1950's), and offers an authentic music experience that you can’t find anywhere else! Performing original arrangements of Big Band Classics from the Great American Songbook, this ensemble brings to life both the style and the spirit of this music for 21st century audiences to experience in living color. Swingtime thrills concert audiences and Ballroom dancers alike with authentic recreations of the timeless swing music of such great Big Band leaders as Count Basie, Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Duke Ellington, Harry James, Woody Herman, Les Brown, Charlie Barnet and Stan Kenton, among many others.

From Carnegie Hall to Radio City Music Hall, this dazzling ensemble never misses a beat. Their next stop? The Huntington Summer Arts Festival! Join us, at the Chapin Rainbow Stage on Sunday, July 17th @ 8:30 in Heckscher Park, Huntington as we welcome Swingtime Big Band!
