The world-renowned Glenn Miller Orchestra brings the rhythms of swing to Split!

Under the baton of Wil Salden, the world-famous Glenn Miller Orchestra will perform on October 10 at the Croatian National Theatre in Split, bringing the swing rhythms of the 1930s and 1940s. Since their first performance in 1985, they have performed more than five and a half thousand times in front of approximately five million people.

"We strive to play the music that defined that era in the same way Glenn Miller did. It's not imitation, but it would be very strange, both for the audience and the band, to play a modern, for example, disco version of 'In The Mood.' Neither the audience nor the band would enjoy such a performance," said Wil Salden.

From the very beginning of the program, the stage will transform into a true dance floor, taking us back to a time when one of the most cosmopolitan, relaxed, and infectious musical styles of all time – swing – was born. Thanks to its distinctive, exceptionally harmonious, yet exciting sound, eternal global hits such as "Moonlight Serenade," "In the Mood," "Rhapsody in Blue," "Leroy Brown," "Sentimental Journey," and many others will come to life.

The first notes of the "Best Of..." program immediately reveal the exceptional expertise of these extraordinary musicians, and the unique sound of the Glenn Miller Orchestra in Big Band formation stands out especially thanks to the numerous brass players.

Although more than 85 years have passed since the founding of the Glenn Miller Orchestra, the musical world continues to be enriched by its unforgettable melodies and arrangements. Just as Coca-Cola and Elvis Presley have become globally recognizable American cultural symbols, so too has Glenn Miller, along with his unforgettable music, become known worldwide.
