The king of soul, Maurice Kirya will headline the extraordinary musical experience dubbed “Orchestra in the City,” this Saturday, at the Uganda Golf Club.
The musical extravaganza promises an unforgettable evening as it will combine the magic of live music with a crucial environmental cause: saving Kampala’s green spaces.
Kirya will join forces with the Kampala Jazz Orchestra to deliver a fresh, orchestral take on his music, which has resonated with Ugandans for over two decades.
Kirya’s beloved hits will be reimagined through the rich sounds of a full orchestra, led by the esteemed conductor Polycarp-Quincy Kyagulanyi, a prominent figure in Uganda’s music scene and a lecturer at Makerere University.
The orchestra will feature an exciting lineup of brass, rhythm, and string sections, all enhanced by dynamic young musicians mentored by Kyagulanyi.
Together, they will offer an immersive “big band” experience, creating a perfect symphony to celebrate both music and nature.
The collaboration seeks to highlight the vital role the Uganda Golf Club plays in keeping Kampala breathable and beautiful.
Proceeds from the Orchestra in the City event will directly support conservation projects to maintain the Uganda Golf Club as a green haven.
The event will take place at the Uganda Golf Club’s picturesque 11th hole, bringing guests face-to-face with the very space they are helping to protect.
Guests will indulge in a premium experience, with signature cocktails crafted from Johnnie Walker Green Label and a three-course Asian fusion dinner, complemented by gourmet delights throughout the evening.
Roy Ronald Tumwizere, UBL’s National Advocacy Manager for Reserve Brands, emphasized the synergy between the event and Johnnie Walker’s commitment to sustainability.
“At Johnnie Walker, we recognize the urgent need to protect and restore the planet’s resources. After more than 200 years of perfecting our craft, we’ve learned that balance is essential. The harmonious relationship between wood, water, earth, and all living beings is vital to our world. That’s why we are committed to reducing our environmental footprint from ‘grain to glass,” he said.
Additionally, KIA Motors will showcase their latest car models, and for those looking to dance the night away, DJ Tony, Uganda’s premier jazz fusion DJ, will keep the vibes alive until dawn.
Tickets to the event are going for UGX 375,000 for single sits while a table of 10 people will be going for UGX5,900,000.
