Big band dances

Get your feet moving and dance to the sounds of the Jim Tudini Band when the group hosts dances at Kleinhans Music Hall in Buffalo.

The dances will be held from 7:30 to 11 p.m. the first Thursdays of the month in the Mary Seaton Room of Kleinhans, Symphony Circle, Buffalo. Dates include Jan. 4, Feb. 1, March 1, April 1, May 3 and June 7.

Tudini has spent more than a year developing his 12-piece big band that has a contemporary feel. Featuring songs from the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s, along with traditional big band music, he has created a group capable of satisfying a diverse audience. The band is comprised of some of Buffalo’s best session and concert musicians, including saxophonist Bobby Militello.

General admission is $15 with the doors opening at 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra box office at 885-5000 or online at www.bpo.org.
