NCPA International Jazz Festival schedule
First, the festival has three evenings, each with a different act. According to the NCPA’s event page, the shows are as follows.
- Friday 20 November, 7:00 pm: Francesca Tandoi Trio.
- Saturday 21 November, 6:30 pm: Nicole Zuraitis Quartet.
- Sunday 22 November, 6:30 pm: Thana Alexa featuring Antonio Sanchez.
Who is performing
Time Out Mumbai describes Francesca Tandoi as an Italian pianist and singer. Also, Nicole Zuraitis is a Grammy winning singer and songwriter who plays with her quartet. The closing night pairs vocalist Thana Alexa, a Grammy nominee, with drummer Antonio Sanchez, a four time Grammy winner.
So the line-up moves from piano led jazz, to vocal jazz, to a drum and voice set. If you are new to the genre, the first night is a gentle start.
Ticket prices and how to book
First, member prices are Rs 1,350, 1,080, 900, 720 and 450, plus GST. Then public prices are Rs 1,500, 1,200, 1,000, 800 and 500, plus GST. The different tiers usually reflect seat location, but check the seat map when you book.
The page says the box office is open now. However, popular nights at the NCPA tend to fill the better seats first. So book early if you want a specific tier.
Also, the season offer is useful if you plan to attend all three nights. Buy two or more tickets for all three concerts at the box office to get 15% off as a member or 10% off as a guest.
Planning your evening
Still, Nariman Point is easy to reach by Mumbai’s local trains and a short taxi ride from Churchgate. The start times are 6:30 or 7:00 pm, so plan to arrive early, because queues form at the theatre entrance. Also keep a photo ID handy if you are claiming a member price.
