Nairobi, November 2026… The Singleton & Bar Symphony, East Africa’s pioneering orchestral fusion experience curated by 360 Immersive, are set to transform Nairobi’s nightlife into an immersive celebration of music, culture, and craftsmanship on November 7, 2026, through a live orchestra performance.
The Bar Symphony is an immersive live music experience, curated by Ugandan music director Josh SB, that brings a 12-piece chamber orchestra into a nightlife setting to reimagine contemporary hits into orchestral renditions and blending classical sounds with modern Afro music, fashion and art. Designed to disrupt traditional nightlife experiences. The event is a sophisticated celebration of art and culture that will happen at Alloy Lounge Bar in Westlands, which is renowned for its refined dining experience and sophisticated ambiance.
“I’ve always been drawn to ideas that defy the norm. An orchestra is hardly something you would expect to find in a bar, and that’s exactly what makes Bar Symphony exciting; it’s about turning a familiar environment into something unexpected but memorable. Nairobi’s audience embraces novelty and new experiences, and we are excited to offer them an entirely new way to appreciate live music,” said Josh SB, the mind behind Bar Symphony.
As consumers increasingly seek out experiences that offer depth, creativity, and genuine cultural relevance, Bar Symphony offers a new way for audiences to connect with music and others.

For The Singleton, the partnership represents a natural alignment of values. Crafted using a slow batch distillation process, the brand is founded on an appreciation for patience, depth and craftsmanship. These same principles are reflected in the Bar Symphony, where every musical arrangement, performance transition and sensory touchpoint has been intentionally designed to create a richer, more meaningful experience.
“The Bar Symphony embodies the kind of thoughtful, premium experiences that today’s consumers are actively seeking. It reflects our belief that some of life’s most memorable moments occur when people slow down, immerse themselves in the moment, and truly savour it. Through this partnership, we are bringing that concept to life in a way that is culturally relevant, modern, and unique,” said Liz Otieno, Brand Manager, The Singleton.
The experience will feature a range of immersive Singleton touchpoints, including signature serves, curated whisky rituals and exclusive spaces designed to encourage discovery, connection and appreciation of craft. Together, these elements will elevate the evening beyond entertainment, transforming it into a celebration of modern African luxury and culture.
The event marks the beginning of The Singleton’s exciting festive season program, which will include a new range of culturally curated events and collaborations to bring customers closer to the brand. With calendars filling up and celebrations taking center stage, the brand is inviting consumers to take a more intentional approach to the season, creating and enjoying the moments that matter most.
The Nairobi edition builds on the success of the property’s inaugural event in Kampala, Uganda, which sold out a 500-seat premium venue and attracted some of the city’s most influential cultural tastemakers, creatives and experience seekers.
