About

The Performing Arts Series presents The Moanin' Frogs
September 26, 2019 Doors at 6:30pm, Show 7:30 to 9:00pm

Bending genres and uplifting spirits, The Moanin' Frogs saxophone sextet is redefining what chamber music can be. Rooted in the classical tradition and theatre of the American Vaudeville show, The Moanin' Frogs' spirited arrangements, creative choreography and technically precise performances of jazz, pop and classical music delight fans across the world.
The first touring group of their instrumentation since the early 1930's, The Moanin' Frogs demonstrate the full line of saxophones, including bass, baritone, two tenors, alto, and soprano. This gives The Frogs a big, symphonic sound and the ability to perform both highlights from the Vaudeville repertoire and entire orchestral works with only six players. Their name, a contraction of the 1914 and 1916 hit titles, That Moanin' Saxophone Rag and The Bull Frog Blues, also hints at their ability to hop convincingly between genres: they are at home as concerto soloists and burlesque show musicians, jazz improvisers and primo chamber ensemble players.
