Rhythm Club is a community of individuals in their twenties, thirties, and early forties that connects jazz enthusiasts and those interested in expanding their knowledge of the art form. Members mingle and enjoy performances and social events while directly supporting the work and mission of Jazz at Lincoln Center.

What benefits come from membership?

Every membership level offers a unique set of benefits! Check out each level to find the membership that’s right for you and the benefits you’re most interested in.

How is membership different from 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. A portion of your membership contribution is tax-deductible.
A donation to Jazz at Lincoln Center is fully tax-deductible and does not include membership benefits. To make a tax-deductible gift to our Annual Fund, visit jazz.org/donate.

What is the membership refund policy?

Due to the nature of charitable contributions, membership gifts are non-refundable.

Can I gift a membership?

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.

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 membership different than a concert subscription?

Unlike a concert 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.
