  • Trumpeter Bria Skonberg returns leading a new iteration of the Sisterhood of Swing, now with seven incredible musicians, including vocalist Catherine Russell

midsummer night swing ticketsMidsummer Night Swing kicks off in classic style on June 25 with Grammy-winning instrumentalist and bandleader Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks, who played at the very first Midsummer Night Swing and many more since then.

Returning after an incredible debut performance last summer, the Sisterhood of Swing Seven—an ode to the International Sweethearts of Rhythm—takes the stage, led by dynamic trumpet player Bria Skonberg, and featuring the transcendent jazz vocalist Catherine Russell.

The explosive Eyal Vilner Big Band celebrates its brand-new album due this summer with a multi-generational ensemble performing inventive arrangements of swing and jazz classics, plus original compositions.

Iconic and contemporary acts bring Latin rhythms to Damrosch Park, including a rare NYC performance by Brazilian superstar Elba Ramalho. Known as the “Queen of Forró,” Ramalho creates vivacious live performances with her unmistakable vocals and songwriting, giving her a permanent place in Brazilian music history.

Fourth of July at Midsummer Night Swing

Ringing in the Fourth of July is the Puerto Rico–based Bobby Valentín Orchestra, led by one of the most prolific arrangers and instrumentalists in Latin music today.

Chulo Records’ Los Hacheros will move die-hard salseros and younger generations to the dance floor, and Analía Goldberg, of the Argentinian orchestra Color Tango, leads her sextet in a night of golden-age tango.

Midsummer Night Swing’s DiscoVogue party joins the citywide celebration of WorldPride NYC on June 27, starring powerhouse nu disco darlings Escort, downtown staple DJ Lina playing classic house and club tracks, and innovators of the underground ballroom scene Mike Q x Qween Beat!.

In July, disco beats return with fan favorites Joe McGinty & The Loser’s Loungeplaying the biggest hits of the 1970s. Both events will be followed by late night Silent Disco.

Foxtrot, cha cha, and rumba steps will turn the dance floor into a ballroom when Joe Battaglia & The New York Big Band hit the stand.

Blues and swing fans will be wowed by the up-and-coming Charles Turner & Uptown Swing, who are quickly making their mark on the NYC jazz scene. Motor city soul will be on full display when Dr. K’s Motown Revue interprets the best of classic Detroit hits.

Five-time Grammy nominee Maria Muldaur digs into the catalogue of New Orleans jazz and blues, performing her Grammy-nominated interpretations of Blue Lu Barker hits.

Once again, the Harlem Renaissance Orchestra will close out the season on July 13 with the 15th-annual tribute to brilliant jazz soloist Illinois Jacquet, as dancers show off their best Lindy hop moves in hopes of winning the Ambassador Prize Dance Contest.

Contestants can find the latest updates on registration details at MidsummerNightSwing.org.

LC Kids Dance with Dancing Classrooms is back for another year, teaching the basics of merengue, tango, salsa, and swing for ages 6 to 10, Saturday, July 13, from 3:00 to 4:30 pm.

Another good deal is that you can share a multi-admission pass with friends.  Six admissions is six admissions, all for you, or to share.

swing dancing NYCEach evening begins with a FREE dance lesson from one of the top instructors in town, teaching you the moves to use later that night for what the band is playing.

Those who know NYCOTC Editor Evelyn Kanter know I’m a swing dancer, so you can expect to find me at Midsummer Night Swing on several nights, dancing the night away.

Midsummer Night Swing also is featured in the new NYC guidebook by NYCOTC Editor Evelyn Kanter, 100 Things to Do in NYC Before You Die, now available in bookstores including Barnes & Noble and online.
