About this event

The Swing Gala by the Gerhard Aflenzer Broadway Big Band is a journey through the golden era of big band music. Focusing on the authentic sound of the swing era, the ensemble uses a full big band setup to recreate the atmosphere of Broadway’s most iconic musical moments. The concert blends instrumental virtuosity and vocal spotlights, often featuring vibraphone solos and dynamic tap dance routines that heighten both the visual and sonic experience. Under the direction of Gerhard Aflenzer, the band preserves traditional swing style while delivering a high‑energy, audience‑focused evening.
