Sanctuary's Big Band Christmas

Sunday, November 29, 2026 (new date)

This will be a holiday show with a program of high-powered vocal and instrumental seasonal favorites that are exciting, inspirational, and just plain fun. Even the biggest Grinch can't help but get in the Christmas spirit when they hear THIS!

The Compaq Big Band showcases the power of 14 horns, a cookin' rhythm section, great vocalists, and terrific instrumental soloists for a diverse range of clients and events across the Greater Boston, Greater Worcester, Rhode Island, and Southern New Hampshire regions.

For swing dances, the band provides a great night for dancers of all abilities, our set lists honed from countless Boston public and educational institution swing club events over the years. But we also have a broader repertoire of titles that round out traditional swing with ballads, foxtrots, Latin tempos, and more, providing the perfect dance accompaniment to functions, celebrations, and fundraisers of any type.

The Compaq Big Band excels in concert and nightclub settings with a balanced selection of both familiar and progressive jazz charts. Music selections for our gigs come from an extensive sheet music library of well over 2,000 hardcopy and scanned titles. We are constantly purchasing new music as it becomes published, and both new and archived titles are integrated into the band's gig books on a continual basis.

Advance ticket purchase online strongly encouraged as many of our previous Sanctuary shows have sold out well in advance.

Full-service bar with table service available. Order dinner at one of Maynard's many fine restaurants and bring it with you. Doors open 6:00 PM.

Note: November 29 is the new date for this concert (previously was December 6).
