The Swing Dance Orchestra presents the unforgettable classics of the 1930s and early 1940s – performed in true style with original arrangements and great attention to detail. Look forward to global hits such as »Chattanooga Choo Choo«, »Minnie The Moocher«, »Begin The Beguine« and »Sing Sing Sing«, which have lost none of their sparkle to this day.
Since the start of this season, David Hermlin has been at the orchestra’s helm, continuing the musical tradition of his father, Andrej Hermlin, with fresh vigour and great authenticity. Together with singer Rachel Hermlin and an excellent ensemble, he strikes a perfect balance between historical authenticity and a lively stage presence.
As well as the well-known evergreens, audience members can also look forward to rarely performed arrangements and surprising discoveries. »Swing is the Thing« is therefore not only a tribute to the great pioneers, but a concert experience full of charm, rhythm and timeless joie de vivre.
