FREDERICK, Md. - TelAve -- The World-Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra brings its signature swing sound to the Weinberg Center for the Arts on Sunday, April 27, 2025, at 2:00 PM.

The Glenn Miller Orchestra has captivated audiences for generations, carrying on the legacy of one of the most celebrated bandleaders of the swing era. Glenn Miller's original orchestra rose to prominence in the late 1930s and early 1940s, delivering an unmatched string of chart-topping hits and shaping the sound of American music. Though Miller tragically disappeared over the English Channel in 1944 while serving in the Army Air Forces, his music lives on through this remarkable touring ensemble.
