Jazz at The Kreeger

Jazz at The Kreeger is a recurring concert series presented in the galleries of the Kreeger Museum, now in its sixth year. Created in collaboration with musician Elijah Jamal Balbed, the series blends visual art and live jazz, drawing on the wealth of local talent from the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Each performance takes place in the museum’s indoor galleries, with ticket holders invited to enter early to explore the permanent collection and sculpture garden before the music begins.
