Sometimes George be-bops with a 20-piece big band, sometimes it’s just he and a vocalist presenting an intimate night of jazz. Most often, he’s on stage with his cohorts in the George Maurer Jazz Group or Trio playing jazz by the seat of their pants.

George’s live shows blend music, storytelling and his ever-present wit into an unforgettable experience, whether he’s performing his own poetry-inspired song cycles or indulging in the Jazz Trio’s irreverent originals.

See him once and you’ll understand why his music makes for an immediate emotional appeal” (Star Tribune).

This coming summer, see The George Maurer Big Band take the main stage at Orchestra Hall for the annual Macy's Day of Music, hosting the final performance of the day, 'Round Midnight, with a 16 piece big band!

Later on in the summer, George starts rehearsals as the new Music Director for the Chanhassen Dinner Theaters summer production of SWING, opening August 1-October 4.
