Thursday, April 9, 2026 | 7:00 PM
Les Brown Film Fest takes place at the Pine Grove Historic Theatre in Pine Grove on Thursday, April 9, 2026, at 7:00 PM. The festival features a film appearance by Les Brown and the Band of Renown, offering a rare on-screen look at a pivotal moment in big band history.
This year’s selection is a 1942 feature that provides the only known glimpse of Les Brown’s newly formed band, The Les Brown Orchestra—his first group after leading the Duke University Blue Devils Jazz Band. The film also includes the only known video of Les’s brother Warren performing as part of the trombone section, before joining the U.S. Armed Forces.
With major stars and limited opportunities to see this film, the evening is a unique chance for music lovers, history buffs, and classic film fans to experience a seldom-screened gem in a historic theater setting.
