Experience Jeremy Pelt live on July 21st

Jeremy Pelt is scheduled to perform at Braun Music Center on Stanford University’s campus on July 21, 2026. Pelt is a contemporary jazz trumpeter known for his lyrical and harmonically sophisticated playing, often described as post-hard bop influenced by artists like Miles Davis and Freddie Hubbard, yet distinctly his own. His work frequently incorporates elements of blues and gospel, and he’s recognized for a warm tone and improvisational skill. He has released numerous albums as a leader, earning critical acclaim throughout his career.

Braun Music Center, officially the Henry J. Kaiser Jr. Auditorium, opened in 1973. Designed by Boora, Voigt & Gay Architects, it is noted for its acoustical design intended to support a variety of musical performances. The hall's architecture features a concrete shell structure and is considered an example of Brutalist style architecture prevalent on the Stanford campus during that period. It serves as a primary performance space for Stanford’s Department of Music, hosting student ensembles, faculty recitals, and visiting artists across genres including classical music, jazz, and contemporary compositions. The center underwent renovations in recent years to improve accessibility and enhance its technical capabilities while preserving its original acoustic qualities.
