Glenn Miller Orchestra live in Minneapolis

Experience Glenn Miller Orchestra live on December 1st

The Glenn Miller Orchestra is scheduled to perform at the Pantages Theatre in Minneapolis, Minnesota on December 1st, 2026. The orchestra performs in the style historically associated with the big band era, characterized by arrangements featuring brass, reeds, and a rhythm section – typically including piano, bass, drums, and guitar. Their repertoire prominently features swing and jazz standards popularized during the 1930s and 40s, often including original compositions by Glenn Miller himself such as “In the Mood,” “Moonlight Serenade,” and “Sing Sing Sing.”

The Pantages Theatre originally opened in 1911 as the Bijou Theatre, undergoing a name change to the Regent Theatre in 1926 before becoming the Pantages in 1930 under the ownership of Alexander Pantages. Initially built as a vaudeville house, it transitioned to showcasing legitimate stage productions and films throughout its history. The theatre underwent significant restoration work completed in 2002, returning many of its original architectural details to prominence. It is recognized for its ornate interior featuring detailed plasterwork and a grand atmosphere reflective of early 20th-century theatre design.
