Starduster Sundays
Throckmorton Theater, Mill Valley 2006-2007
The Starduster Orchestra is a traditional big band. While playing music
from all periods, they specialize in swing, and other dance music, from
the 30's, 40's and 50's, along with contemporary arrangements of your
favorite songs. Because the Starduster Orchestra performs original
arrangements with original instrumentation, their audiences get to
enjoy the swingin' sound of the Big Band Era the way it was played...
the excitement of their music compels audiences from eight to
ninety-eight to get up and dance.
