The members of the orchestra have dedicated themselves to extensive preparations for this new tour. Both the musicians and vocalists aim to perfectly capture Glenn Miller's distinctive style and sound, creating an immersive experience that transports the audience back in time to the concerts of the early 1930s and '40s. Glenn Miller once said: “Every musician or composer dreams of creating an absolutely distinct sound that can be recognized immediately after just a few opening bars." These words have served as tremendous inspiration for Wil Salden, the orchestra's principal conductor for nearly 40 years, owing to his longstanding dedication and exceptional work. As a perfectionist, he has always demanded the same level of commitment from every member of the ensemble. It is this approach to their craft that has earned the orchestra the admiration and awe of their audiences.
The orchestra's musical calling cards are their sentimental ballads, such as the timeless Moonlight Serenade, which the group performs exactly as Glenn Miller composed them years ago. The ensemble's elegant musicians exude a genuine love for emotional jazz, and their joy of playing is visibly apparent. With a history spanning 90 years, the Glenn Miller Orchestra has graced stages worldwide, captivating the hearts of audiences everywhere. The Glenn Miller Orchestra has performed in the US, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South America, Japan, and the Philippines.
