Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz & Performing Arts

The nation's first purpose-built institution for jazz, established 1935. Where Philadelphia jazz lives, not in a museum, but in performance.

Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz & Performing Arts

The Clef Club is where Philadelphia jazz lives, not in a museum, but in performance. Weekly events, education programs, and a concert calendar that keeps the tradition alive and moving forward. Located on South Broad, steps from the Avenue of the Arts corridor, it is both an anchor institution and an active performing arts center.

For 2026 visitors: check the calendar before you arrive. A Clef Club performance is the most concentrated version of Philadelphia’s musical legacy you can experience in a single evening.
