The Compaq Big Band returns to the Live at the Andres Concert Series Stage. This will be their fourth show on the Big Bear Lodge stage. Their concerts always captivate audiences with a nineteen-piece ensemble plus a vocalist.

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 songs. The Holiday book is particularly popular and will have you feeling jolly and festive in no time!

Concerts are upstairs at the AIA Welcome Center, formerly known as the Big Bear Lodge. The room is rustic with resonant acoustics. It features all table-seating with the audience limited to about 100 guests. Beverage service is available with donation requested. State Law does not permit us to allow alcoholic beverages into the facility. Food is available downstairs at Brookline's Finest or bring in snacks from home or takeout. An elevator is available from the first floor AIA Gallery. Be sure to visit the Gallery to learn about the history of the AIA and Mount Pontanipo or arrive early to hike the sculpture trails before the show. With the Holidays around the corner, it is the perfect time to do gift and hostess shopping in Brookline's Finest which features local vendors making all sorts of treasures for gifting.

There are eight concerts in the Act II Concert Series, July - December. Buy tickets to more than one show to save money and to request reserved seating. Go to this link for a discount to multiple shows.
