The first ever Muizenberg Jazz Festival is taking place on the 13th and 14th October 2017 at the Masque Theatre in Muizenberg, Cape Town.

Tucked in between iconic Surfers Corner and Muizenberg mountain peak, the Masque Theatre’s proximity to main roads, highways, and public transport makes world-class entertainment easily accessible to all people coming from anywhere and by any means.

This year line-up will feature 10 Jazz acts each performing an hour long set over the course of the two evenings, as well as a photographic exhibition in the theater.

The festival offers diverse Jazz genres such as Classic Jazz, Contemporary Jazz, Afro Jazz, Cape Jazz and World Jazz as well as a Big Band performance.

The incredible line up includes performances by award winner Bokani Dyer and McCoy Mrubata as well as the Ella Fitgerald Tribute Show A’ LA ELLA! headed by US Singer Yvette Norwood – Tiger.
