Grammy Winner Wynton Marsalis and Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra to Headline The BC International Jazz Festival 2025 in Nairobi

Nairobi, Kenya – September 23, 2025 | The stage is set for one of the most anticipated cultural events of the year as the Bob Collymore International Jazz Festival proudly presents the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis for two unforgettable performances in Nairobi. Taking place at the serene Misumi Gardens (next to Carnivore Grounds) on October 1 and 2, 2025, these concerts will showcase the brilliance of jazz at its very finest.

Led by Wynton Marsalis—the legendary trumpeter, composer, and winner of both Grammy and Pulitzer Prizes—the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra brings together some of the world’s most accomplished jazz musicians. Known globally for their mastery, innovation, and soul-stirring performances, the orchestra is set to deliver evenings of extraordinary music that blend tradition with fresh improvisation.

The festival will feature two distinct experiences:

• October 1, 2025 – Dinner & Show (KES 12,500): An exclusive evening of fine dining paired with a curated concert, offering guests an elegant night of music and culture.
• October 2, 2025 – Fan Show: A vibrant, more accessible performance designed for broader audiences.

This rare opportunity to witness Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra live in Nairobi reflects the festival’s mission to bring world-class jazz experiences to Kenya while honoring the legacy of Bob Collymore, a devoted champion of the arts.

With limited seating available, both events are expected to sell out quickly. Experience jazz like never before—an intimate dinner concert or a high-energy fan show with one of the greatest living jazz icons.
