Attending a Show

The Jazz Forum is a “listening room” first and foremost.

For Friday & Saturday 7 pm shows, please arrive by 6 pm for best available seats. Doors open at 9 pm for 9:30 pm shows. On Sundays, doors open at 3 pm for the 4 pm show and at 5:45 pm for the 6 pm show.

Because we have two shows each night, patrons attending the first show will be asked to leave at the end of the music performance so we can prepare the room for the patrons attending the second show.
