The Valley’s premier jazz venue has unveiled a star-studded spring 2026 lineup.
Ravenscroft has officially announced its upcoming season, a mix of Grammy winners, celebrated jazz icons, and emerging talent, presented through intimate concert hall performances, stylish lounge sets, and exclusive special events. From the Ravenscroft Concert Hall Series to Jazzbird Nights and Valley Jazz Cooperative performances, the new season promises a front-row seat to some of the most exciting jazz experiences in Arizona.
The season opens Jan. 9 with a high-energy VJC Alumni Sextet performance in the Jazzbird lounge, bringing together standout alumni from the Valley Jazz Cooperative for a night that celebrates Arizona’s next generation of jazz talent. Just one night later, on Jan. 10, the Concert Hall Series kicks off with Grammy-nominated clarinetist and saxophonist Anat Cohen, who takes the stage with her acclaimed Quartetinho ensemble.
One of the season’s biggest nights arrives Jan. 31, when Ravenscroft hosts its second annual Grammy Night on the eve of the 68th Annual Grammy Awards. Headlined by Grammy-winning pianist and jazz legend Bill Cunliffe, the red-carpet-style evening honors the spirit of the Grammys with a performance that blends swing, soul, and modern sophistication.
February brings romance and harmony to the stage, starting with a Valentine’s Day concert on Feb. 14 featuring vocalist Alyssa Allgood and her Quartet. On Feb. 21, fan-favorite a cappella quartet Kings Return makes a highly anticipated return to Ravenscroft, showcasing their signature mix of gospel, jazz, R&B, classical, and pop influences.
The celebration continues into April with a lineup of performances honoring National Jazz Appreciation Month. Highlights include the April 25 debut of Matt Lennex and the Giants of Jazz, a powerhouse ensemble of some of the Phoenix jazz scene’s finest musicians, fresh off a string of sold-out Valley performances.
Set inside a striking 30,000-square-foot venue, Ravenscroft offers an unparalleled musical experience. The intimate 200-seat concert hall hosts award-winning jazz artists from around the world, while the Jazzbird lounge delivers a modern, New York City–style jazz club vibe, spotlighting emerging talent.
Tickets for all upcoming performances are available at theravenscroft.com, at the Ravenscroft Box Office, or by phone at 1.800.785.3318.
