From the very first note, you can feel the momentum, energy, and zest for life that make swing so distinctive. The orchestra shapes the evening with elegance and a charming touch of whimsy. Pieces like \u00abMoonlight Serenade,\u00bb \u00abIt\u2019s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,\u00bb \u00abFlying Home,\u00bb and \u201cA String of Pearls\u201d bring the classic big-band sound to life. The combination of saxophones, clarinets, trumpets, trombones, bass, drums, and piano creates a rich sound that has captivated generations. Uli Plettendorff knows Glenn Miller\u2019s music inside and out. Even as a student, he played in Wil Salden\u2019s The World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra. For nearly four decades, this orchestra has been carrying the musical legacy of the legendary bandleader to Europe\u2019s major concert halls. Since 2024, Uli Plettendorff has been passionately carrying on the tradition of this unique orchestra. Each song evokes its own mood: sometimes rhythmic and rousing, sometimes elegant and soulful, always characterized by precision and attention to detail.<\/p>\n<div class=\"usp-images-wrap\"><span class=\"usp-image-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2026-06-15_6a2fb60405442_26-12-WEB-OC-SwingingChristmas.png\" class=\"lightbox\" rel=\"lightbox\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"usp-attach-id-73967\" class=\"usp-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2026-06-15_6a2fb60405442_26-12-WEB-OC-SwingingChristmas.png\" width=\"800\" height=\"576\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":73967,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1572],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73966","kalender","type-kalender","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-jazz-konzertagenda"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Glenn Miller Orchestra - Swinging Christmas - Schweizer Musikzeitung<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/en\/kalender\/glenn-miller-orchestra-swinging-christmas\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Glenn Miller Orchestra - Swinging Christmas - Schweizer Musikzeitung\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Unter der Leitung von Uli Plettendorff, dem Posaunisten und neuen Bandleader des Glenn Miller Orchestras, erklingen festliche Evergreens und die grossen Hits der 40er und 50er-Jahre.
