Welcome
Our 11th St. Petersburg Jazz Festival!
The 2018 St. Petersburg Jazz Festival was a great success! Thanks to all who attended the concerts and those who supported the jazz festival.
Our lineup of artists for the 2019 St. Petersburg Jazz Festival includes multi-instrumentalist & singer Valerie Gillespie and band, vocalist Alexis Cole backed by the Helios Jazz Orchestra, Remembering Sam Rivers - a tribute to jazz legend Sam Rivers from his bandmates, the amazing flutist Nestor Torres with Maurico Rodrigues and Dimas Sanchez, the Martin Bejerano Trio performing his Chamber Music America commission and more. The festivals runs from Wednesday, February 27 through March 3.
All of our concerts are at the Palladium Theater and Palladium Theater Side Door venues. Our jazz festival is designed to provide a optimum environment for listeners of jazz. You won't find food trucks, stadium seating or massive columns of speakers at the St. Petersburg Jazz Festival. What you will find is an intimate concert experience with pure sound quality and a great appreciation of the jazz artists performing.
We look forward to seeing you!
best,
David Manson
