S2539 From Pop to Swing: The Music of the 30s
Class | Registration opens Monday, March 10, 2025 10:00 AM EST
The 1930s were a transition from the Jazz Age of the 1920s to a more sophisticated style that evolved into what became known as Big Band or Swing. But the popular style of music of the 20s was still around in the early 30s. Attendees will hear songs from artists and musicians like Judy Garland, Woody Herman, and the Boswell sisters. There will even be a surprise or two! Join your fellow SOAR members to explore the music of this important decade.
