Join the Swing Shift Jazz Orchestra as we blast off for an evening of big band jazz that’s truly out of this world. Swing Shift in Space takes audiences on a musical journey through the stars, planets, and beyond, combining classic swing with the wonder and drama of the cosmos.

The program will feature space-inspired favorites such as “Fly Me to the Moon,” along with imaginative jazz arrangements of selections from Gustav Holst’s The Planets.
