Thank you so much for your interest in attending Jazz Thursday. Due to limited capacity, we have ended our advanced ticket sales. We anticipate several cancellations and no shows, so you are welcome to come on the evening of the event. If space allows, we will sell tickets at the door. If you are a member, your admission will still be free.
We look forward to seeing you tonight for Jazz Thursday, featuring Michael Ross Quartet! Due to very high winds, tonight’s event will be moved indoors.

As this reduces our seating capacity, we ask that you please notify us in advance if you would like to cancel your ticket — or you may cancel it directly through Eventbrite.

Seating will be available in McGuire Hall and Bistro on a first-come, first-served basis.

Check-in begins at 4:30 pm (earlier entry will not be permitted), and the Bistro/bars and seating open at 5 pm.
For guest safety, personal chairs are not permitted on-site

Food and Beverage are available for purchase on-site through the Bistro. Please refrain from bringing outside food and beverage.
