Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing something special happen at Jazz at Kleinhans.
We’ve seen audiences fill Kleinhans Music Hall for memorable performances by artists such as Tierney Sutton, John Pizzarelli, and Emmet Cohen. We’ve heard extraordinary jazz, shared laughter, enjoyed conversations with friends old and new, and experienced the unique feeling of gathering around live jazz.
What excites me most is that we’re building more than a concert program.
We’re building a community.
Today, more than 100 jazz and Great American Songbook lovers have already reserved their Jazz at Kleinhans 4-Concert Package for the upcoming season. I am grateful for every one of them.
Together, we are helping shape Buffalo into a premier destination for jazz and the Great American Songbook—not only for those of us who call this city home, but for artists and music lovers everywhere who are discovering what is happening here. Every subscription, every concert, and every gathering helps strengthen that vision and move it forward.
In the 2026-2027 season, we’ll welcome Grammy-winning vocalist and pianist Nicole Zuraitis. We’ll celebrate the holidays with Champian Fulton, Grammy-winner Carmen Bradford, and Vanessa Perea. We’ll honor Buffalo’s own Harold Arlen with Tony Award-Nominee Ann Hampton Callaway. And we’ll experience the extraordinary artistry of Latin Grammy-Nominee Alfredo Rodriguez and his trio.
These artists will provide memorable performances.
But the heart of Jazz at Kleinhans is the people who gather to experience all of the performances together.
If you’ve attended one of our concerts, you know what I mean. The excitement before the event begins. The standing ovations. The familiar faces that we enjoy seeing.
Those moments matter.
And they happen because people like you choose to be part of them.
The special Jazz at Kleinhans 4-Concert Package remains available through July 13 at $178—less than $45 per concert.
More importantly, it is an invitation to become part of a growing community that celebrates jazz, the Great American Songbook, and the shared experience of live music.
If you’ve been thinking about joining us for the 2026-2027 season, I hope you’ll consider doing so today. Click the logo link to reserve your same seats for all four concerts, and before individual concert seats go on sale on July 13th.
Together, we’re building something special.
I look forward to seeing you this summer and at Jazz at Kleinhans.
With gratitude,
Tony Zambito
