Membership FAQs
Jazz at Lincoln Center is dedicated to inspiring and growing audiences for jazz through special events for donors and members. Come join us and celebrate jazz!
Proceeds from our various events directly underwrite Jazz at Lincoln Center’s core performance, education, and advocacy initiatives, including concerts with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and educational programs that bring jazz into the lives of more than 115,000 young people and adults each year. These programs are made possible with the generous support of our donors.
What benefits come with a Jazz at Lincoln Center membership?
As a member, you receive exclusive VIP pre-sale access throughout the season, invitations to special events, discounts to Swing University and Blue Engine Records merchandise, and more! To view all membership benefits and categories, visit jazz.org/membership.
Are tickets included with my membership contribution?
No, your membership contribution does not include tickets. However, as a member you will be alerted when your VIP pre-sale access begins. Members also receive exclusive ticket discounts and invitations to special events not open to the public.
How is a membership different than a subscription?
Unlike a subscription, which allows you to book tickets to a series of performances, a membership does not involve prepaid packages or large upfront financial commitments. Membership is completely flexible and offers exclusive benefits reserved for members. Best of all, your membership supports Jazz at Lincoln Center’s mission to expand a global community for jazz through our education and artistic initiatives.
What is the difference between membership and a donation?
With your membership contribution, you’re supporting Jazz at Lincoln Center while also unlocking exclusive benefits all year long that bring you closer to the music. Part of each membership contribution is tax-deductible. To see the tax-deductible amount for each level, visit jazz.org/membership.
A donation is fully tax-deductible and does not include benefits. If you would like to make a tax-deductible gift to our annual fund, visit jazz.org/support.
Can I give membership as a gift?
Of course! Membership makes a great gift! You may purchase a gift membership for a friend or a family member online or over the phone, the same way you would purchase a membership for yourself.
When and why did the membership program change?
Our membership program is an important part of all that we do at Jazz at Lincoln Center. Members make it possible for us to share the spirit and experience of jazz with audiences, students, teachers, and listeners for generations to come.
On April 2, 2019, we made some changes to benefits, pricing, and categories of our membership program. These changes will help us better serve the needs of our members and of our organization and the wider global jazz community.
With these changes, we want to emphasize Jazz at Lincoln Center’s commitment to organizational sustainability and ensure that the tax-deductible portion of every membership gift goes toward supporting our artistic and education programming.
Will I get a new member or patron card?
If you joined or renewed before April 2, 2019, you may continue to use your current membership card until it expires. If your membership expires soon, we look forward to sending you a new card when you renew. Your expiration date and member ID number will not change and will be printed on your new membership card.
What is the membership refund policy?
Due to the nature of charitable contributions, membership gifts are non-refundable.
Still have a question about membership? Email us at membership@jazz.org or give us a call at 212-258-9973. We’re here to help!
