Come closer to the music 🎷✨
Three intimate listening sessions. Three new releases. A chance to sit with the music, hear the stories behind it and discover what inspired each project, straight from the artists themselves.

Hosted by the CTIJF and Tecla Ciolfi (Texx and the City), each evening will take you deeper into the music, with the chance to ask your burning questions, hear the unexpected stories and uncover the deeper meanings behind the songs.

Each attendee will receive a welcome drink, compliments of Jägermeister!

🌍🎷 Big news from the CTIJF family!

We're proud to share that espAfrika has facilitated an incredible international opportunity for beloved South African vocalist Zoë Modiga. Zoë will perform as a featured soloist alongside the legendary Igor Butman and the Moscow Jazz Orchestra at the International Festival of Youth, taking place from 11–17 September 2026 in Russia. ✈️

Zoë's journey with CTIJF runs deep — from her powerful 2024 performance to this year's unforgettable 2026 line-up with Seba Kaapstad and her solo set at the free community concert at Greenmarket Square. Now she carries that same spirit onto a global stage, representing South Africa and Africa.

Connecting South African artists with the world, building bridges through music, and showing just how far local talent can travel is what it's all about. Congratulations, Zoë! We're cheering you on every step of the way! 🙌🎶
