Join us for a “Sentimental Journey” that will put you “In the Mood” to “Begin the Beguine.” Because…”It Don’t Mean A Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing”. Eastern Connecticut Symphony Orchestra joined by Bill Holcombe, thought by some to be the best arranger in the business, plus his saxophone quintet and two great singers. Remember handsome Michael Maguire (Tony Award Winner for Enjolras in Les Miserables)? Michael will be joined by Lynn Roberts, long-time singer with the Pied Pipers, and the only female singer to have sung with all the major superstar bandleaders including Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, and Harry James.
