Steven Bernstein live in San Francisco

Experience Steven Bernstein live on July 19th

Steven Bernstein will perform at the SFJAZZ Center in San Francisco on July 19, 2026. Bernstein is a trumpeter, composer, and arranger known for his eclectic musical style often described as “multiphonic” or blending jazz with elements of klezmer, blues, and rock. He frequently incorporates historical musical references, particularly from the early 20th century, into his compositions. Bernstein has led several ensembles including Spanish Fly, and has collaborated extensively with artists across diverse genres. His work often features unconventional trumpet techniques and a focus on textural exploration.

The SFJAZZ Center, which opened in 2013, is a leading jazz performance venue and educational organization. It’s located in the Hayes Valley neighborhood of San Francisco and was designed by Mark Cavagnero Associates. The Center features the Robert N. Miner Auditorium, an 800-seat performance space renowned for its acoustics, alongside smaller rehearsal spaces and classrooms dedicated to jazz education programs.
