The world class Pasadena Roof Orchestra brings a night of foot-tapping, nostalgic live music to Oxford Playhouse on Monday 1 April 2019.
With an unparalleled reputation across the UK, Europe and beyond, for 50 years the 11 musicians that make up the Pasadena Roof Orchestra have been re-creating the sounds of a golden era of music - from the roaring 1920s to elegant 1930s - to widespread acclaim.
Enjoy beautifully arranged songs from Irving Berlin, Ray Noble, Cole Porter and their contemporaries, and re-live the electrifying hot jazz from Fletcher Henderson and Duke Ellington. Presenting the show, and putting on the top hat and tails, is the suave singer and band leader Duncan Galloway.
For half a century the orchestra has vividly captured an atmosphere, a mood which is stylish and sophisticated, yet forceful and vivacious; but above all, life-affirming good fun! So pack up your troubles, come on get happy, and experience an evening of superlative live music, with more than a dash of wit and humour.
