The Lake Arbor Jazz Festival has always celebrated the full spectrum of jazz. This year, we're adding a room for the moments that only happen up close.

The Listening Room Series is an intimate performance experience held inside MGM Hotel & Casino at National Harbor — a dedicated space where straight-ahead and traditional jazz takes center stage. Small audiences. Master musicians. No distance between you and the music.

If your favorite part of any jazz experience is when the room gets quiet and the artist just *plays* — this was made for you.

Two rooms. Two days. Four performances. Seating is limited by design.

Soulful, passionate, stirring...these are the words most often used to describe Kirk Whalum's music. Forged from his Memphis, (TN) gospel roots and his 1980‘s initiation into the thriving Houston, TX nightclub scene, Kirk’s big, rich tenor sound is unmistakably his.

Get your tickets to the Lake Arbor Jazz Festival Sunday Brunch featuring Kirk Whalum, Gerald Veasley, Karen Briggs and Carol Riddick. Sunday, July 19, 2026.
