Welcome to the home of the Canton Cabaret Orchestra. The Canton Cabaret Orchestra is the professional pit orchestra in residence with the Canton Cabaret Dinner Theatre. The Canton Cabaret Orchestra is a group of professional musicians and arrangers who have worked in the Akron-Canton area for many years with various groups.
Canton Cabaret Orchestra and Barry DeBois
The orchestra consists of 9 pieces, which is ideal for most Broadway books, and can still deliver the punch and drive of a full big band. We also perform arrangements featuring vocalists from the Canton Cabaret.
Specialty arrangements are also available to suit your occasion.
Review of "Remembering Moonlight Ballroom" from 2007:
"Canton Cabaret delivers a night to remember"
"The 9-piece orchestra, which was directed by David Kolinski-Schultz and included veteran sax man Jack Halkides for this event, delivered an authentic sound that was amply bright and full enough to satisfy any big band appetite".

Remembering Moonlight Ballroom August 15th and 22nd
Back by popular demand from the 2007 season, "Remembering Moonlight Ballroom" is a celebration of Swing Dancing and the music of the Big Bands. An evening of dancing and musical entertainment featuring the music of Count Basie, Buddy Rich, Duke Ellington, Henry Mancini, and many more. Dance to the songs made famous by the Big Bands of the 40's to the 60's, as well as Latin Jazz and Nouveau Swing.
Participating in this year's event will be dancers from the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Canton (http://www.fredastairecanton.com/). They'll show us all how it's supposed to look! Don't miss it!
If you're looking for an upbeat evening of swing and other dance music for your event, or a pit orchestra for a stage show, contact the Canton Cabaret Orchestra. We can deliver the full sound of a classic Big Band, but in a smaller venue. You provide the stage, we provide the live entertainment.
