2025 Charleston Jazz Gala

You’re Invited to an Unforgettable Night of Jazz, Joy, and Generosity!

Join us on Friday, November 21 at the American Theater for Charleston Jazz’s most dazzling event of the year — our annual Jazz Gala!

This spectacular evening will feature a show-stopping performance by world-renowned jazz drummer Quentin Baxter, whose electrifying artistry will light up the night. You’ll also be inspired by the incredible young talent of our Charleston Jazz Academy students, who will take the stage to share the music of the next generation.

Guests will enjoy dinner, an open bar, and an exciting live and silent auction filled with unique experiences and treasures. Raise your paddle during our Fund-a-Need to help empower the future of jazz education and performance in our community.

Come dressed to impress and ready to celebrate — all in support of Charleston Jazz’s mission to inspire and grow a vibrant jazz culture through performance, education, and outreach.
