Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, bring your friends, pull up a chair, order a drink, and let the music, stories, and conversations surprise you. With limited seating, we encourage you to subscribe early.
Our series brings you acclaimed Houston, national, and international artists for unforgettable evenings of jazz, Broadway, and world music. New this season, our Signature Artists are performers who have inspired their fields, beginning with Broadway and Saturday Night Live star Ana Gasteyer, Brazilian music icon Bebel Gilberto, and visionary jazz pianist Jason Moran.
See Who’s Coming!
Every artist this season is “one of one,” bringing a perspective and voice that can’t be replicated. In the intimacy of the Founders Club, every performance becomes a one-of-one experience.
