Join us for an unforgettable evening of Swing Classics at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art
Get ready to swing the night away as we honor the Bartizal family’s unwavering support of the APO. Step back in time to the Golden age of the Big Band, where phenomenal music and musical artists like Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, and the Andrews Sisters ruled the stage.
But wait, there’s more! Before the concert starts at 7 pm, professional swing dancers will be in the Great Hall at 6 pm to give our guests a swing dance lesson. So put on your dancing shoes and get ready to groove! The APO Big Band, directed by APO Music Director Steven Byess, will perform an exciting array of classic Big Band Swing hits. Steven will also share entertaining insights and anecdotes, adding to the magic of the evening.
