Experience Peter Bernstein live on July 25th

Peter Bernstein will be performing at Birdland Theater in New York City on July 25, 2026. Bernstein is a highly regarded jazz guitarist known for a style deeply rooted in the tradition of Jim Hall and Wes Montgomery, yet distinctly his own. His playing is characterized by a warm tone, sophisticated harmonic understanding, and a lyrical approach to improvisation. He frequently performs and records with leading contemporary jazz musicians, demonstrating a commitment to both honoring jazz history and pushing its boundaries.

Birdland Theater is located within the larger Birdland Jazz Club complex, a venue with significant historical importance to the world of jazz. The original Birdland, founded in 1949, earned the nickname “The Jazz Corner of the World” and hosted nearly every major jazz artist of the mid-20th century, becoming central to the bebop era. While the original club closed in 1965, it was revived in 1986 and currently operates as both Birdland Jazz Club and Birdland Theater. The theater space specifically focuses on presenting a variety of jazz performances, cabaret and musical theater events maintaining the legacy of artistic excellence associated with the Birdland name.
