Let There Be Swing

The Virginia Beach Little Theatre presents “Let There Be Swing” performed by the Tidewater Winds Big Band on Saturday, December 28, 2024 at 7:30 p.m. The performance will benefit the Tidewater Winds.  This group puts its signature sound on classic swing music from the 20’s and 30’s and will perform some of the most joyous and festive holiday music ever written.

The program will feature the Tidewater Winds Big Band playing some of the original arrangements from the Glenn Miller Christmas Songbook, music from Jazz at the Lincoln Center, and even a couple of charts from Tommy Newsom as performed by Doc Severinsen and the Tonight Show Band!  Yes, Glenn Miller recorded two wonderful holiday albums in his day, and we can't wait to show off some of his great work! Mrs. Danielle Roby joins the Winds to sing such holiday favorites as “Everybody’s Waitin’ for the Man with Bag”, “Let it Snow!” and a lovely version of “Silver Bells”. Danielle will also introduce a few new charts, “Cool Yule” and “A Cradle in Bethlehem” that are sure to become part of your holiday favorites.

Spend an evening reminiscing through the joy of music in “Let There Be Swing".

TICKETS for the benefit are $25 and may be purchased below.
