Carnegie Hall Presents

The Shape of Jazz

If you love jazz and want to hear the best of all the style has to offer today, this series is for you. The finest Afro-Cuban jazz with Chucho Valdés and a host of rising stars, the pluralistic violin virtuosity of Jenny Scheinman, the Israeli-born Cohens, and the innovative compositions of Vijay Iyer. Doors open one hour early for Late Nights at Zankel Hall, where you can enjoy a pre-concert drink and meet others who share your passion for music.
Presented by Carnegie Hall in partnership with Absolutely Live Entertainment LLC and The Joyce and George Wein Foundation in memory of Joyce Wein.
