Arcadia Dance Orchestra

The Arcadia Dance Orchestra is an 11-piece St. Louis band, led by bandleader T.J. Muller. Named after the once famous Arcadia Ballroom ("On Olive, near Grand"), The Arcadia Dance Orchestra specializes in recreating the music of St. Louis’ ‘Roaring Twenties. The group consists of 11 musicians playing era correct instruments. Audiences will feel as though they have stepped back in time as this group brings the music of speakeasies and dance halls back to life, with red hot energy and keen historical accuracy. For this performance the Orchestra will feature music arranged and composed by African Americans, specifically spotlighting St. Louis African American Jazz musicians of the 1920s and 30s.

The concert is free, and no reservations are required. Bring a chair or blanket. You are welcome to bring food and beverages as well. For more information call 314-842-1867 ext. 230.
