The London Jazz Orchestra live in London

Experience The London Jazz Orchestra live on July 11th

The London Jazz Orchestra will perform at the American International Church in London on July 11, 2026. The orchestra is recognised for its performances of large ensemble jazz, particularly arrangements and original compositions rooted in the tradition of iconic bandleaders like Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Thad Jones. They frequently showcase both classic repertoire and contemporary works, often featuring guest soloists.

The American International Church has a history connected to American expatriates in London dating back to the mid-19th century. Originally founded as the American Chapel, it provided a religious and community space for Americans living abroad. The current building, completed in 1955 following damage during World War II, was designed by architect Robert Matthew and features notable stained glass work depicting scenes from American history and religious narratives.

The church maintains an ecumenical outlook and welcomes individuals from diverse backgrounds. Beyond its religious functions, it serves as a venue for cultural events including concerts, recitals and community gatherings – leveraging its unique acoustic properties and central London location. It is known for hosting musical performances that benefit from the building's resonant atmosphere.
