We have performed at many cocktail parties and dinner-dances. Our ensembles play soft and romantic sounds for cocktails, light and lovely music during dinner, and rousing rhythms for dancing including Vintage Swing and Dixieland Jazz.

Whether your event has a theme or not, our repertoire of stylish and popular songs focussed on the Great American Songbook and international favorites, will set the tone for musical enjoyment and lively social interaction amongst your guests. Please visit our Audio Samples page.

If your event is a vintage theme party, you can do no better than the Royal Society Jazz Orchestra and our smaller ensembles. Please visit our Theme Party page.
