A swing evening full of brilliance, precision, and timeless melodies
When the Glenn Miller Orchestra, under the direction of Uli Plettendorff, takes the stage, classic big-band energy meets the unmistakable sound of one of the most famous swing formations in music history. On January 10, 2027, the ensemble will stop at the Freiheitshalle Hof, bringing the sound of the 1940s back to the present with technical precision, rich brass pressure, and elegant orchestration.
The legendary Glenn Miller sound lives on
Since 2024, Uli Plettendorff has been leading the European formation that has been at home on Europe's great stages for decades. The repertoire focuses on the famous Glenn Miller classics such as In The Mood, Pennsylvania 6-5000, American Patrol, and Moonlight Serenade. The mix of original arrangements, tight rhythm section, and distinct brass section creates exactly that live atmosphere that makes swing not only audible but also physically tangible.
Big band that makes the space vibrate
The Glenn Miller Orchestra describes its program with 30 pieces per concert and a total repertoire of 166 pieces. This number stands for experience, discipline, and stylistic range. In Hof, this meets a venue that accommodates over 6,100 visitors in its Great Hall and is designed for concerts, shows, and large productions. This creates a concert experience where acoustics, lighting, and audience mood form a cohesive wave.
Hof as a strong concert location
The Freiheitshalle Hof is centrally located on Kulmbacher Straße and is easily accessible from the region. According to the hall's location plan, there are more than 500 car parking spaces in the directly adjacent folk festival area and the surrounding spaces; there are also designated accessible parking spaces. Arriving by train and bus is also comfortable, as the Hof-Neuhof stop is directly opposite the hall, and the bus stop Freiheitshalle is in front of the building.
Tradition with new leadership
Uli Plettendorff has been part of the orchestra since 1987 and has been at its helm since 2024. This continuity gives the ensemble credibility and authority: this is not a nostalgia facade, but a well-rehearsed touring orchestra with a genuine musical core. This is where the fascination of this evening lies: Glenn Miller tradition, live and without effects, but with maximum impact.
Conclusion: The audience in Hof can expect a stylish evening between swing romance, big-band power, and precise stage performance. Anyone who wants to experience the timeless Glenn Miller sound in a large ensemble should not miss this date.
