THE HOT HOUSE WEST SWING ORCHESTRA is the flagship ensemble of the Hot House West 501(c)(3). This 14-piece swing machine encapsulates the raw energy, expression, and joy of swing rhythm. By turns serious and silly, the Swing Orchestra will leave you laughing, crying, smiling, hugging and giving in to the irresistible urge to dance. Drawing upon the rich history of swing music, The Swing Orchestra masterfully blends traditions and styles. From Gypsy jazz to western swing, trad jazz to bebop; if it swings, nothing is off-limits!
The Swing Orchestra is committed to forging profound connections and memorable experiences, not only to the audience, but also to the dancers and musicians involved. At its core, the Swing Orchestra champions the values of community, mentorship, joy, and the transformative nature of shared moments.
