SUMMARY:Architects of Swing
DESCRIPTION:The swing era was driven by bandleaders who knew how to shape a sound and make it move. This Toledo Jazz Orchestra program turns the spotlight on those creators\, from tightly constructed arrangements to the rhythmic feel that defined big band jazz. It is a closer look at the craft behind the music and the structure that makes swing land with impact.

SUMMARY:The Music of Queen
DESCRIPTION:BRENT HAVENS\, conductor\nWINDBORNE MUSIC: MiG Ayesa\, Dan Clemens\, Powell Randolph\, George Cintron\, Justin Avery \nQueen’s music was always built to be larger than life. With full orchestra and amplified band\, those songs take on even more weight\, with thicker textures\, bigger dynamic swings\, and the kind of scale that matches their ambition. From driving rock anthems to more reflective moments\, this program shows just how much range sits inside that catalog.

SUMMARY:A Night in Vienna: Blue Danube & Mahler 4
DESCRIPTION:ALAIN TRUDEL\, conductor\nPASCALE BEAUDIN\, soprano  \nMAHLER: Symphony No. 4 \nJ. STRAUSS II: On the Beautiful Blue Danube; Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka\nVIENNESE OPERETTA ARIAS featuring selections from Lehár\, R. Strauss\, and O. Strauss \nStep into the musical world of Vienna\, where elegant waltzes take the lead and symphonic imagination captures the spirit of the city’s New Year concerts. Johann Strauss II’s On the Beautiful Blue Danube opens with the graceful rhythm that once filled the city’s grand ballrooms. Music from Franz Lehár continues the spirit of Viennese operetta before Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 unfolds with playful charm\, rustic dances\, and moments of quiet wonder. Soprano Pascale Beaudin joins the orchestra for the symphony’s final movement\, where a childlike vision of heaven brings Mahler’s dreamlike journey to its gentle close.
