Yellow Door Concert Series
Yellow Door Concert Series
The Yellow Door Concert Series was founded in 2018, by Alexandria musicians, Robyn and Vaughn Ambrose.
Our mission is to bring communities together to experience live art music in a way that is a look back in time, to the parlor concerts of the early 20th century. We recognized a clear need to create small intimate listening opportunities for musicians and audiences to gather and share.

Jazz at Meade (JAM) is one of the area's most interesting and intimate live jazz venues. Jazz enthusiasts from around the DMV gather at Meade Church six months out of the year at 4pm to enjoy an afternoon of wonderful music, great conversation and refreshments.

Now in our 19th year, you can experience monthly concerts on fourth Sunday during the month of April, May, June, September, October and November. JAM is regarded as one of the "best kept secrets" of the Alexandria music scene. Come out and enjoy the music as we strive to "Keep Jazz Alive"!

We offer audiences the opportunity to interact with some of the areas most sought after and celebrated musicians in an intimate and comfortable setting. Each concert begins with a 30 minute meet and greet with light food and beverage. The concert will be 75 minutes and will wrap up with another opportunity to connect with one another and the musicians.

If you would like to host a concert in your home or small venue, please contact us. We will be happy to discuss options and pricing with you.

Our concerts are non ticketed and seating is on a first come first served basis. Because the concerts are not ticketed, we recommend a $20-$25 donation - proceeds will compensate the musicians and fund future Yellow Door projects.
