Juneteenth Friday Jazz at the High Museum

About this event

The High Museum extends its Juneteenth observance into the evening with a special edition of its signature Friday Jazz series, transforming the Robert and Sarah Carr Wing, the Stent Family Wing piazza, and the Susan and John Wieland Pavilion into three concurrent stages of live jazz from 6–10 p.m. Programming centers Black American music as a freedom practice — the through-line from spirituals and field songs to bebop, hard bop, and contemporary improvisation — with Atlanta and touring artists performing across genres. A separate Juneteenth VIP Night (5–9 p.m.) offers after-hours access to the Amy Sherald: American Sublime exhibition paired with Friday Jazz, making the evening one of the most distinctive ticketed Juneteenth concert experiences in the city.
