Miggy Augmented Orchestra is back at Birdland!

The 17-piece Miggy Augmented Orchestra performs under the leadership of Japan-born, New York-based composer and pianist Migiwa “Miggy” Miyajima. The orchestra brings together rising stars and accomplished veterans in a radiant ensemble devoted to Miggy’s complex, melodic, and urgently swinging original music.
