8th Annual Jazz Series at Faena Theater

February - June 2026 | Faena Theater

Faena Jazz Series Returns!

In keeping with Faena’s commitment to delivering unparalleled offerings and experiences, once again jazz lovers from South Florida and beyond are invited to enjoy the sounds of great jazz in the intimate and glamorous Faena Theater. The 2026 Faena Jazz Series, running from February through June, returns with its greatest season yet: a festival lineup of six fantastic shows produced and curated by Grammy-nominated record producer and artist, Rachel Faro.

The Faena Jazz Series returns February 4, 2026, opening with Grammy-winning jazz and blues vocalist Catherine Russell. The season unfolds with luminous rising star Stella Cole in March, followed by contemporary jazz standout Benny Benack in April. In May, legendary Brazilian singer-songwriter João Bosco takes the stage, leading into early June with virtuosic mandolinist Hamilton de Holanda. The series concludes June 24 with OKAN, the Juno Award-winning Afro-Cuban duo bringing an electrifying modern edge to the Faena stage.
