Named after the once famous Arcadia Ballroom ("On Olive, near Grand"), The Arcadia Dance Orchestra specializes in recreating the music of St. Louis’ ‘Roaring Twenties. The group consists of 11 musicians playing era correct instruments.

For this performance the Orchestra will feature music arranged and composed by African Americans, specifically spotlighting St. Louis African American Jazz musicians of the 1920s and 30s.
