SFJAZZ CENTER
The luminous new SFJAZZ Center
is the first stand-alone structure
in the country built specifically
for jazz. Its intimate concert hall,
Robert A. Miner Auditorium,
was designed to enhance the
spontaneous creation of music
and the connection between
artists and audiences.
“ONE OF THE MOST
PERFECT
PERFORMANCE
SPACES EVER.”
After 30 years of using rented
halls around San Francisco,
SFJAZZ now has a home in
the bustling Hayes Valley
neighborhood where we can
create year-round programming,
present artists in residency, and
expand our education programs.
Since opening in January of 2013,
the LEED Gold-Certified Center
has earned rave reviews and
numerous awards for its open
and welcoming architecture and
its superb acoustics.
