At the height of the Swing Era, a racially integrated women’s big band called the International Sweethearts of Rhythm attracted the finest women jazz instrumentalists and toured nationally. From 1942 through 1949, the band was based in Arlington at 908 South Quinn St (no longer extant).
Inspired by the Sweethearts, pianist/composer Amy K Bormet will perform a suite of new music for her large ensemble, Bitter Sweethearts. Free shows at 7pm & 9pm!
