Sangjaru
02/05/2026 - 7:00pm

Sangjaru is a captivating Korean folk fusion band that merges the energy of traditional Korean music with the infectious rhythms of gypsy swing, funk, rock, and improvisation. The name "Sangjaru" originates from the combination of two Korean words, "sangja" (box) and "jaru" (sack). While a box retains a fixed form, a sack adapts to its contents. Inspired by this analogy, the band aspires to infuse new creativity into the rich traditions of Korean music. Click HERE for artist's website. LU Students attend for FREE, click for more info.

Tommy Dorsey Orchestra
03/22/2026 - 5:00pm

In Big Band history, the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra is recognized as one of the best all-around dance bands. It could swing with the best of them, and no other band could come close to Tommy's when it came to playing ballads. Tommy Dorsey, "The Sentimental Gentleman of Swing," was a master at creating warm, sentimental, and always musical moods. Frank Sinatra credited Tommy with teaching him breath control, which helped to create such vocal classics as There Are Such Things, This Love of Mine, and I'll Never Smile Again. The music world lost Tommy at an early age, but his legacy of great music has transcended time. The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra still represents explosive and swinging Big Band entertainment at its very best. Click HERE for artist's website. LU Students attend for FREE, click for more info.
