The Establishment Big Band
2023-02-02 20:00 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
The Establishment Big Band at The Franklin Theatre
Beginning in 1970, a diverse array of Nashville musicians who had in common an abiding love of big band music came together to form an ensemble devoted to capturing the rhythmic sounds of the Forties and Fifties. Today, this well-rehearsed and highly skilled 20-piece band is in demand throughout the Mid-South.
Professional in every sense of the word, the band is made up of doctors, lawyers, academicians, corporate executives, and entrepreneurs, as well as professional musicians. The Establishment regularly packs hotels and clubs with audiences that love danceable, soft-muted brass. Wherever they play, from society balls to music-hall concerts, their big band sound draws applause and cheers and shouts of praise.

With an extensive repertoire of the great music made famous by the bands of Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Count Basie, Harry James and others, The Establishment was for eight years the band in demand at the Opryland Hotel’s big New Years Eve Gala, and was featured on the Big Band Cruise of the showboat General Jackson.
Four rhythm players, five reeds and ten brass comprise the band which was founded by Del Sawyer, Dean Emeritus of Vanderbilt’s Blair School of Music. In April 1998, Del handed over the baton to Billy Adair who was an incredible arranger, arranging many of the vocal charts currently in use by The Establishment. Vocals are handled by the talented Sarah Edmonds and Eric Stein with arrangements skillfully crafted by Mr. Adair. After the unexpected passing of Billy Adair on February 18, 2014, the baton was passed to the current director, Cole Burgess on July 1, 2014.
A non-profit organization, The Establishment generates scholarships for musically talented children to receive individualized instruction at Blair School of Music and at the W.O. Smith Nashville Community Music School. Though the band works only for the love of music and the support of a new generation of musicians, it is in no sense an amateur group. Each new member is carefully auditioned and shares the band’s commitment to rigorous weekly rehearsals. Devotion and skill are the trademark of The Establishment, a musical organization that represents professionalism at its best.

The Book of Will
by Lauren Gunderson
Directed by Lenny West
Something new from one of America’s most produced and prolific playwrights … It is London, 1619. William Shakespeare is dead and his legacy depends on a circle of devoted writers, actors, and friends. When a botched and hilariously pirated production of Hamlet plays on a nearby stage, they realize the words of their friend and mentor—words that shaped their lives—are soon to be lost forever. This small group of unexpected heroes with no money, no resources, and no experience must come together to—against all odds and in a race against time—collect and compile Shakespeare’s plays into one definitive printed edition. Their translation of words from the stage to the page would forever change theater and literature. This unforgettable true story is a lively, funny, and poignant love letter to theater and to the printed word. Winner of the Harold and Mimi Steinberg/American Theatre Critics Association New Play Award 2018.
February 3rd through the 18th, 2023.
