Robinson Khoury live in Saint-Nazaire

Experience Robinson Khoury live on September 25th

Robinson Khoury will perform as part of the Jazzimut Festival in Saint-Nazaire, France on September 25, 2026. Khoury is a Lebanese-American saxophonist and composer whose work blends elements of jazz improvisation with traditional Arabic maqam and rhythms. His music often incorporates microtonal scales and explores themes of cultural identity and displacement, resulting in a sound that is both deeply rooted in tradition and strikingly contemporary. He frequently collaborates with musicians from diverse backgrounds, further enriching his sonic palette.

Jazzimut Festival has been an annual event in Saint-Nazaire since 1989, dedicated to showcasing creative and innovative jazz music. It distinguishes itself by prioritizing artistic risk-taking and presenting a wide spectrum of jazz styles – from mainstream to avant-garde – alongside related genres. The festival typically utilizes various venues throughout the city, including historical landmarks and unconventional spaces, aiming to integrate the music into the urban landscape. Jazzimut consistently features both established international artists and emerging talents, fostering a platform for musical exchange and discovery. The festival is supported by the city of Saint-Nazaire and regional cultural organizations.
