# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 20 Mar, 2026 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Glenn Miller disappeared on December 15, 1944.  The bandleader went down over the English Channel on a flight from London to Paris at the height of his popularity.  In September 1942, just prior to going into the army, he had disbanded his famous orchestra and eventually formed the Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band to entertain the servicemen.

Not long before he enlisted, he nosed-out Tommy Dorsey, the “Best Sweet Band” in the Downbeat poll.  His recordings of In The Mood, Chattanooga Choo Choo, A String of Pearls, Moonlight Serenade and Tuxedo Junction were all major hit records.  Miller played to sell out crowds, and his music constantly dominated the airwaves.

On December 15, Major Miller took off in an ancient, single engine plane to precede his band to Paris.  The weather was foreboding.  Not very confident, he said to the pilot, “Maybe we ought to call this off?”  The flight officer ribbed him about his fear of flying, “Do you want to live forever?”

Now, over sixty years since the public first embraced the successful Miller Sound, both the legend and the music live on.  The Glenn Miller Orchestra is the most sought after big band in the world today for both concert and dance engagements.  Still considered the greatest band of all time, its unique sound is loved by almost anybody that cares for dance music.

The Miller Estate formed the present Glenn Miller Orchestra in 1956 following strong popular demand aroused as a result of the successful motion picture, an immense box office smash – The Glenn Miller Story, starring James Stewart and June Allyson.  The band has been touring consistently since, playing an average of 300 live dates a year around the globe to millions of fans.
