The 18-piece orchestra is a full big band featuring highly skilled and talented vocalist performers as well as a 501(c)3 non-profit, dedicated to nurturing young musical talent. They provide mentoring and performance opportunities for gifted young performers, enabling them to learn the ropes from seasoned professionals.

| Glenn Hansen was brought up around music in his early childhood. Glenn’s father, William Hansen, played for the Benny Goodman Orchestra, and it was from this setting that The Glenn Hansen Orchestra was born.
The talent within this versatile group has toured the world playing with such greats as: Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, Isley Brothers, Tony Bennett, Tom Jones, Liberace, Bob Hope, Aretha Franklin and Wayne Newton and performed at the White House for five different presidents. Some Members are currently touring with the present day Glenn Miller Band or are members of East Coast Military bands. |
