The Toledo Jazz Orchestra will perform swing-era favorites from Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington and other music legends. The concert, presented by The Blade in partnership with The Andersons, will help fill the absence of the popular Music under the Stars concert series. Dr. Anne Baker, Toledo Zoo Executive Director, noted that the Zoo has partnered with the Toledo Symphony Orchestra for more than 50 years, during which time a generation of area residents has enjoyed free concerts at the Zoo.
Admission to Swingin' at the Zoo is free, although non-members of the Toledo Zoo must pay to park in the Zoo's Anthony Wayne Trail lot. In addition, visitors are invited to stop by the Beastro Café before the concert. With a delicious menu of sandwiches, salads and wraps, the Beastro will tame a beastly appetite! The Beastro Café is adjacent to the African Lodge and will be open from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. prior to the concert.
