The Glenn Miller Orchestra live in San Antonio

Experience The Glenn Miller Orchestra live on December 22nd

The Glenn Miller Orchestra will perform at the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts in San Antonio, Texas on December 22, 2026. The orchestra is renowned for its performance of classic big band jazz from the 1930s and 40s, characterized by a distinctive clarinet-led sound, smooth harmonies, and a danceable rhythm. Originally formed by trombonist and bandleader Glenn Miller in 1938, the orchestra achieved immense popularity during World War II before Miller’s disappearance in 1944. The current iteration continues to perform Miller’s arrangements and popular tunes of the era.

The Tobin Center for the Performing Arts opened in 2014 following extensive renovations to the historic Municipal Auditorium, originally built in 1926. The complex combines the restored grandeur of the original auditorium – known for its Spanish Renaissance Revival architecture – with a modern performance hall, Carlos Alvarez Studio Theater, and administrative spaces. The venue hosts a diverse range of performances including Broadway shows, concerts, dance performances, and other cultural events. It serves as a significant cultural hub for San Antonio and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
