There’s something magical that happens when a full big band hits that first downbeat during the holidays. The room gets brighter. The air shifts. And for a couple of hours, you remember exactly why live music feels like home.
On Thursday, December 18, the MJI Big Band is bringing that feeling back — twice — with a 2 p.m. matinee and a 7:30 p.m. evening performance at the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts.
This year's ensemble is stacked with some of Milwaukee’s finest:
Donna Woodall – vocals
Jason Gillette – alto sax, Director
Emmet Fettig – alto sax
Sam Fettig – tenor sax
Jason Goldsmith – tenor sax
Mike Pauers – baritone sax
Greg Garcia – trumpet

Steve Wiest – trombone
Darren Sterud – trombone
Ken Wiele – trombone
Kyle Samuelson – bass trombone

If you’ve been craving a little sparkle, a little swing, and a whole lot of musical joy, this is your moment. Gather your people, pick your showtime, and come celebrate with us.
