Faena Jazz Series

An intimate concert series brings world-class jazz artists to an elegant theater setting for a season of live performances in Miami Beach.

The 8th Annual Faena Jazz Series runs from February through June 2026 at the Faena Theater on Miami Beach, presenting six curated concerts that highlight a wide range of jazz traditions and global influences. Produced and programmed by Grammy-nominated producer and artist Rachel Faro, the annual series pairs internationally recognized musicians with the theater’s close-knit, acoustically refined setting.

The season opens on February 4 with jazz and blues vocalist Catherine Russell, whose repertoire draws on early swing and classic American song. March 18 features rising vocalist Stella Cole, followed by trumpeter and bandleader Benny Benack on April 15. In May, Brazilian singer-songwriter and guitarist João Bosco brings his distinctive blend of samba, jazz and popular song to the stage, while mandolin virtuoso Hamilton de Holanda performs on June 3. The series concludes on June 24 with OKAN, the Juno Award-winning Afro-Cuban duo known for weaving jazz with folk and global rhythms.

All performances take place inside the Faena Theater, a 150-seat venue designed in the style of a European opera house, with gold-leaf details, red velvet interiors and carefully engineered sightlines and acoustics. Tickets are available individually or as part of a season package, with performances open to guests of all ages.
