The Glenn Miller Orchestra live in Magdeburg

Experience The Glenn Miller Orchestra live on January 13th

The Glenn Miller Orchestra is scheduled to perform at Johanniskirche in Magdeburg, Germany on January 13, 2027. The orchestra is renowned for its performance of classic American swing and jazz music popularized during the 1930s and 1940s. Originally led by Glenn Miller, the band achieved widespread fame with instantly recognizable tunes like “In the Mood,” “Moonlight Serenade,” and “Sing Sing Sing,” characterized by a distinctive clarinet-led sound and tight ensemble playing. Following Miller’s disappearance in 1944, the orchestra was reformed and continues to tour internationally, maintaining the original arrangements and style.

Johanniskirche, translating to St. John’s Church, is a prominent Gothic church in Magdeburg. Construction began around 1208 and continued for several centuries, resulting in a blend of architectural styles. Significantly damaged during World War II, it underwent extensive reconstruction completed in the 1960s. The church is noted for its impressive height – its tower reaches approximately 97.5 meters – and serves as an important landmark within the city.
