Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams take the stage with their quartet for a special Golden Jubilee celebration honoring 50 years of Godfrey Daniels. The acclaimed Americana duo—longtime collaborators with Levon Helm and members of Bob Dylan’s band—bring decades of shared musical history and a partnership that has been unfolding since 1986. Their songs reflect the life they’ve built together through music, shaped by years on the road and in legendary rooms like Woodstock’s Levon Helm Studio, home of the Midnight Rambles.

This milestone concert at Moravian University’s Foy Concert Hall celebrates not only their remarkable collaboration but also the enduring spirit of Godfrey Daniels as a premier Live Music Listening Room. Join us for an evening that honors five decades of music, storytelling, and community in Bethlehem, offering audiences a rare chance to experience artists whose connection and craft have been shaped over a lifetime.

The great American swing dance band led by the legendary Glenn Miller was formed in 1938. Known for their smooth, flowing melodies and repetitive rhythmic patterns, the band achieved immense popularity with hit songs like “In the Mood,” “Moonlight Serenade,” and “Pennsylvania 6-5000.” Of the 121 charting singles by Glenn Miller and his Orchestra, 69 were Top Ten hits and 16 reached number one.

Glenn Miller was one of the most successful of all dance bandleaders back in the Swing Era of the 1930s and 40s. He disbanded his musical organization in 1942 at the height of its popularity to volunteer for the Army. There, he organized and led the famous Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band. On December 15, 1944, Major Miller took off in a single engine plane from Europe to precede his band to France, disappearing over the English Channel, never to be seen again.
With the release of the major motion movie The Glenn Miller Story featuring Jimmy Stewart and June Allyson in 1954, interest and popular demand led the Miller Estate to authorize the formation of the present Glenn Miller Orchestra. On June 6, 1956, the reformed Glenn Miller Orchestra performed its first concert and has been on the road ever since.

Today, the 18-member ensemble continues to play many of the original arrangements both from the civilian band and the Army Air Force Band libraries. Additionally, it also plays some more modern selections arranged and performed in the Miller style and sound. Today, the Glenn Miller Orchestra, with Erik Stabnau as the orchestra’s present music director, is still the most sought-after big band in the world.

“A well-seasoned band, having fun, playing great songs. Mike & the gang take their music to a new level!” – Terry Townson, Delbert McClinton Band
