Horns Horizon: 17-piece Big Band

The air at The Chairman has always carried a certain magic, a blend of nostalgia and possibility that makes every moment unforgettable. This Valentine's weekend, that magic will swell to life as the stage becomes home to something extraordinary—a 17-piece symphony of talent, passion, and soul: the Horns Horizon Big Band.

But the magic doesn’t stop there. Over and above this grand ensemble, the evening will feature stellar guest artists who will bring their own brilliance to the stage, including Mondli Ngcobo, Afro Soul, Zoë The Seed, Zolani Maseko, and Andy Leway. Each of these artists carries a distinct sound and presence, adding layers of emotion, groove, and storytelling to an already spectacular lineup.

Durban’s finest musicians take their place, each note they play a reflection of their craft, their spirit, their love for this city and its sound. This is not just a performance; it’s a gathering of kindred souls, a celebration of what it means to feel alive, to share moments that linger long after the music fades.

For two nights, The Chairman will transform into a place where love—romantic, musical, and communal—is celebrated in its purest form. It’s an experience that can only be felt here, where the walls hum with history and the air is thick with the timeless magic of jazz.

This is The Love Edition, and it’s a story you’ll want to be a part of.
