Yellow Door Concert Series

What We Do

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.

Bring the Yellow Door to You

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.

Join us for a Concert

Our concerts are non ticketed and seating is limited, so spaces are filled on a first come first served basis. Because the concerts are not ticketed, we recommend a $20 donation - proceeds will compensate the musicians.

Charlie Parker with Strings Project

The Charlie Parker with Strings Project:

The power and magic of collaboration is beautifully illustrated with the iconic recording of Charlie Parker with Strings. Charlie Parker is arguably the most influential alto player in history, and when he joined forces with a powerhouse group of classical musicians a fresh platform was created. The marriage of jazz and classical idioms opened a gateway for lovers of both genres to explore the other, in a time when these paths would likely have remained uncrossed.

The cultural relevance and significance of these recordings lives on today, as we recognize the importance and necessity in bringing people together through music. This language is universal, regardless of your past, present or future. Music transcends our differences and is the greatest gift we can give to bring people together.

This performance will feature the original 13 piece studio instrumentation,
