Hearing a full-scale jazz orchestra in such a culturally rich setting provides a unique acoustic and visual experience that differs from standard concert halls.

Are the seats assigned or can I choose where to sit?

The majority of the tickets for these performances are “Non-reserved seats,” meaning seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. To get your preferred spot near the stage or in a specific section, it is highly recommended to arrive when the doors open 30 minutes before the start time.
