The Ritz-Carlton, Bangalore, recently hosted an exclusive performance by the 30-member Youth Jazz Orchestra Baden-Württemberg in the hotel’s majestic ballroom. Over 200 guests attended the show. Highlights of the evening included a breathtaking performance by a German vocalist’s rendition of songs in Japanese, a virtuoso solo saxophonist, an exhilarating “scat singing” session. Scat singing or scatting is a form of vocal improvisation in jazz music where the singers improvise riffs or repeated melodic patterns in a jazz song using vocables or sounds, scat syllables that serve as synonyms for recognizable words, like “uh-huh” for “yes,” or nonsense syllables.
Reuben Kataria, General Manager of The Ritz-Carlton, Bangalore said, “We are honoured to bring the transformative experience of jazz to Bangalore. At The Ritz-Carlton, our commitment extends beyond exceptional hospitality; we aspire to curate world-class cultural experiences that resonate deeply with our guests. Hosting the Youth Jazz Orchestra Baden-Württemberg, exemplifies our dedication to creating memorable, enriching moments for our guests that align with the elegance and global sophistication synonymous with our brand.”
A meticulously curated culinary journey further accentuated the soirée’s luxury.

Seafood Lobster Bisque, followed by live chef stations offering Chef Noel’s signature sushi and Asian Super bowls, all prepared with the finest ingredients. The Classic Italian Station, featuring Wild Mushroom Risotto and Sun-Dried Tomato and Goat Cheese Risotto.
