Momentum
There’s a real sense of momentum building for jazz in Buffalo—and it’s only just beginning.
This week, we’re excited to share the announcement of our new Summer of Jazz Series on Ellicott Street, building on the energy and community we experienced last year. It’s a meaningful step toward creating a vibrant downtown destination where live jazz brings people together throughout the summer—we invite you to take a moment to read more about what’s ahead. See the article in our stories section.
At the same time, enthusiasm for Jazz at Kleinhans continues to grow, with audiences embracing it as Buffalo’s premier jazz presentation and a true center for experiencing internationally acclaimed artists. With momentum building this season and also toward next season, we’re grateful for the support that makes it all possible. And, we’ll have a special announcement to share soon—one we’re especially excited about.

With gratitude,
