The BIG Big Band from Sweden is coming to Sun City West as part of their 10th US tour since their first in 1975.  This outstanding 45 person band will appear on July 3, Lord of Life Lutheran Church, 13724 Meeker Blvd, Sun City West at 6 pm.

 

The BIG Big Band from Sweden includes young people in their late teens right through to members who have played in the band for more than 40 years!  Band members come from several small villages in the Southern province of Sweden called Skane–the Swedish province closest to Denmark.  The band includes teachers, doctors, engineers, farmers, professors, high school and university students and homemakers.

This outstanding group has performed all over Scandinavia, northern Europe and America.  Coming with the band on their 2016 tour is Vincent Nilsson, a band alum, who now is one of the most renowned jazz trombonists in the world.  Vincent has been a featured artist with Copenhagen’s famed Tivoli Garden’s Big Band and he is a member of the Royal Danish Radio Big Band.

The band’s 2016 California/Arizona tour will include 16 concerts.  Band members will be overnight guests in over 400 homes.

Lord of Life is welcoming the entire West Valley to this unique concert.  We are sure this group’s “big band sound” will appeal to young and old.

A freewill offering will be received.  (Suggested donation is $9).
