The Kleinhans Experience
The music brings us together.
Jazz at Kleinhans is more than the artists on the stage. It is the shared experience of hearing extraordinary music together in one of Buffalo's most celebrated cultural landmarks.
The intimacy of the Mary Seaton Room brings audiences close to the music. The Main Hall gives landmark performances a setting worthy of the occasion. Both are part of what makes Jazz at Kleinhans distinctive.
Our Vision
More than a concert series.
We believe Buffalo deserves a premier jazz program that welcomes nationally and internationally acclaimed artists, celebrates our musical heritage, and contributes to the cultural life of our city.
Buffalo has a meaningful place in the story of American song. Jazz at Kleinhans looks both backward and forward — honoring the Great American Songbook while presenting artists who continue to interpret, expand, and renew the music for new generations.
Every concert, every new listener, and every shared experience helps build something lasting: a program that strengthens Buffalo's identity as a city where jazz and song have a meaningful home.
