Be swept away by the timeless music of the Artie Shaw Orchestra! Throughout the 1930s, '40s, and '50s, Artie Shaw and his band recorded a number of hits such as Stardust, Begin the Beguine, Moonglow, and Carioca. A legend in the world of jazz, Shaw is regarded by many as the finest and most innovative of all jazz clarinetists and one of the most adventurous and accomplished figures in American music. Artie's clarinet virtuosity is now carried on by bandleader Matt Koza and The Artie Shaw Orchestra continues to be one of the best remaining big bands from the swing era. Come enjoy the ageless music of Artie Shaw, the "King of Swing."

Catch the Recycled Percussion fever! Come see why these talented young performers amazed audiences on the hit TV show "America's Got Talent." For the past 15 years this high-energy group has been creating an unique style of music on just about anything they can get their hands on, including ladders, buckets, and trash cans. Although they refer to their style as "junk rock," the performance includes other styles such as metallic, reggae, techno, blues, ska, jazz, classic rock, hip hop, punk and boy band. The show's remarkable drumming led by Justin Spencer and fascinating grooves spun by turntablist "DJ Pharaoh" create music that is sophisticated and technical in construction, mesmerizing in execution, and a fist-pumping thrill to experience.
