Unity Jazz Festival Tickets

Festival-goers can enjoy an intimate, curated lineup across Rose Theater on Jan 8 and The Appel Room on Jan 9, plus performances in Dizzy’s Club, the Ertegun Atrium, and the Agnes Varis Studio. From intimate ensembles to bold quartets, Unity Jazz Festival showcases mother Africa-inspired programming, honor concerts, and tributes within a broad Jazz at Lincoln Center experience.

Secure your seats with a choice of All-Access Passes (which include Kes) or Nightly Festival Passes (which exclude Kes). The All-Access options put you front and center for Kes and all festival stages; Nightly Passes are a great option if you want just the individual night’s performances.
