SoundMusic Swing Dance Gala August 1, 2010

SoundMusic, the bold new venture that last summer brought two critically-acclaimed symphonic concerts and one very popular big band production to Harkness Memorial State Park, will present three performances this summer at Mystic Aquarium. The season opens on Sunday, August 1 with a “Swing Dance Under the Stars” Gala Fundraiser. Led by C. Calloway Brooks, Cab Calloway's grandson, the Cab Calloway Orchestra presents a colorful, rousing show reflecting the heyday of the Swing Era. It's both a show band and great dance band. Enjoy the sounds in Mystic Aquarium's Ocean Planet Pavilion, within view of the beluga whale exhibit.
