Enjoy concerts featuring leading international and local ensembles in programs of classical, jazz, Latin, and new music.
The favorite Friday night performances are back in a new small-capacity ticketed format—Jazz at LACMA Limited Edition! This year marks Jazz at LACMA's 30th season of celebrating L.A.'s finest jazz musicians.
Over the next several months, the 30th anniversary of Jazz at LACMA will include performances by the Yellowjackets, Ernie Watts Quartet, säje, and more. The 2021 L.A. Jazz Treasure Award will honor Quincy Jones on September 10 and include a concert with the Quincy Jones All-Star Orchestra under direction of John Clayton.
To protect the health and safety of the museum’s visitors, staff, and musicians, the series returns with several new health and safety protocols, including pre-registration for the event, limited seating capacity, weekly ticket releases, and more. Attendees must complete required health screenings prior to entry.
