Jazz Vespers

From October through June, fans of jazz can look forward to beautiful music, hosted in the unique, gothic-style sanctuary of Seattle First Baptist Church. ​On the first Sunday of each month at 6pm, talent hailing from all over the Pacific Northwest will perform two sets for the audience per session. These evenings will also include a short, ​non-sectarian inspirational message, as well as mingling after the concert. As one of the city’s premier monthly cultural events, Seattle Jazz Vespers is an event that is meant to bring the transformative power of jazz to Seattleites of every walk of life. 

In light of recent events, this season’s concerts will follow current Seattle COVID mandates and all of the CDC’s recommendations. The doors open promptly at 5:30pm with seating on a first-come, first-serve basis. Seattle Jazz Vespers is open to the public and free for all to attend, but if you can afford to donate, doing so is encouraged to help pay for the musicians. The dress code? Come as you are. We look forward to seeing you there. To keep up with the latest news or line-up changes visit seattlejazzvespers.org.
