This Christmas Concert Spectacular, featuring the acclaimed 19-piece Johannesburg Big Band conducted by Adam Howard, promises to be the most magical event of the year.
For eight enchanting performances only, from December 15th to December 24th, 2023, audiences will be treated to a symphony of swingin' Christmas hits. The show boasts a blend of traditional carols like "Deck the Halls" and "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" alongside fresh renditions of classics such as "Frosty the Snowman," "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," and "Santa Claus is Comin’ To Town."
But the magic doesn't stop there—special guest artists Timothy Moloi and Monique Steyn will join Jonathan and the Johannesburg Big Band, infusing the concert with their phenomenal vocal talents. Adding to the festive cheer, the sensational children’s vocal ensemble from Stageworx School Of Performing Arts will make it a heartwarming experience for both the young and young-at-heart.

Jonathan Roxmouth, sharing his excitement about the concert, says, “To now take that and perform the music live at the Teatro is just too much to even describe - and I’m a blabbermouth! Christmas is my favorite time of the year, and being home for it is one thing, but to be home for this concert series is the best gift I could have wished for.”
Swingle Bells is not just a concert; it's a celebration brought to you by Howard Events in association with The CoLab Network. It marks the debut production by Howard Events, a subsidiary of the multi award-winning Howard Audio, owned and run by industry power couple Adam and Belinda Howard.
Adam Howard, sharing his thoughts on the production, says, “What better way to perform the album live on stage than Jozi’s premier theatre venue; The Teatro at Montecasino?” He emphasizes their passion for delivering the very best in live musical entertainment.
Collett Dawson of The CoLab Network, thrilled to be part of this festive collaboration, adds, “What better way to celebrate the 10-year association between the Johannesburg Big Band and The CoLab Network than by joining forces once again to bring Joburg audiences this Christmas Spectacular.”
As 2023 draws to a close, Swingle Bells invites you to have yourself a merry little Christmas and experience the magic of this unforgettable concert. Treat yourself and your loved ones to the joyous sounds of the season—it's a celebration you won't want to miss!
