Those who love the songs of Frank Sinatra and the sound of the great big bands can get both when the 17-piece Odyssey Jazz & Swing Orchestra presents ‘Sinatra & Swing’. Two shows mark this major music event – Friday evening April 20 at 7:30 pm on Lady’s Island in Beaufort in the Walsh-Palmetto Hall at St. Peter’s Church, and on Hilton Head at the Hilton Head Beach & Tennis Resort on Sunday afternoon, May 6 at 5:00 pm.

The Lowcountry Community Concert Band plays ‘Pops from Stage to Screen’

Among the baggage we brought when we moved to the Lowcountry in 2015 was an old, silver-plated B-flat tuba, which I’d played in college and in many reunion parades (and office parties) since graduating from Rutgers University in 1971. I didn’t think I would still be playing the horn in retirement, and it seemed fated to sit in a corner in our living room as a rather unusual objet d’art.

The Lowcountry Wind Symphony will round out its third season with a program entitled ‘Cinematic Highlights.’ Back to back free concerts will be presented at 7 pm on Saturday, April 21 at Lord of Life Lutheran Church, 351 Buckwalter Parkway; and Sunday, April 22 at 4 pm at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 157 Lady’s Island Dr. in Beaufort.
