The String of Pearls Big Band Orchestra will return to Australia following sell-out shows in 2011 and 2013.
The all-American big band String of Pearls along with the In The Mood singers and dancers from New York will perform Swing Jazz from the 1940s with 18 shows announced across Australia.
This will be the 3rd Australian tour for this sensational all American-all singing-all dancing troupe which has been touring globally for 23 years.
‘In The Mood’ was performed at the 1997 Inaugural Ball for President Bill Clinton, selected by World USO as an official entertainment for the 50th World War II Commemoration and the National Touring Event for the Spirit of 45 year-long celebration, marking the 65th anniversary of the end of WWII.
Accompanist for the official United States Air Force Chorus, The Singing Sergeants, IN THE MOOD Creator, Producer and Artistic Director Bud Forrest says, “Many of the arrangements were written by Vic Schoen, the conductor for the Andrews Sisters and Musical Director for Universal and Paramount Pictures. The songs are timeless and this production is as authentic as it gets. We have incorporated influences from our previous Australian visits into the show and are thrilled and honoured to be returning.”
