The spectacular opening gala of the EFG London Jazz Festival returns with a dazzling line-up of soloists, joined by arranger and conductor Guy Barker, and the specially created EFG London Jazz Festival Orchestra.

This year we’re bringing an extra special show as we celebrate the journey of the iconic Jazz Voice, featuring familiar names from the past 15 years of performances since being launched alongside title sponsor EFG.

Expect an evening of star-studded soloists and surprise guests as they perform an array of iconic songs ranging from jazz standards to global tunes and originals, with exciting new orchestral arrangements.

We’ll be revealing this year’s line-up of soloists very soon.
