Historic Ritz Theatre Summer Concert Series 2023 - Fil Lorenz Orchestra

The Fil Lorenz Orchestra is a big band jazz and swing show featuring vocalist, Walt Andrus. Join us for this high-voltage, crowd-pleasing big band born of the blues, with a sound defined by a searing, relentless horn section and an exhilarating, sometimes challenging repertoire of well-known burners and fascinating originals alike. To put it simply, the FLO can turn any club or festival performance into blues/bop celebration. Saxophonist/arranger Lorenz has assembled a musical cast of the highest standard, bringing some of Central Florida's most accomplished jazz veterans together with the fertile scene’s most promising up-and-coming players. One of the country's top interpreters of the Great American Songbook, Mr. Andrus spent 15 years touring internationally with The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. Other recent performances have included: The Nelson Riddle Orchestra, The Naples Jazz Orchestra, and various national Symphony and Pops Orchestras.

Doors open at 6 PM. Show starts at 7 PM.
