The Bishop Arts Theatre Center is kicking off the 2026 Jazz Series this weekend.

The series starts with the city’s signature Valentine’s concert event, Love, Jazz & Romance, at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 14, at McFarlin Memorial Auditorium.

The evening will begin with the smooth jazz of Walter Beasley on saxophone, followed by Richard Elliot, known for his high-energy saxophone style that blends funk, jazz and R&B. Finally, the setlist will close with the jazz fusion group Pieces of a Dream, bringing out their decades of chart-topping hits.

All three acts bring together a romantic and passionate performance, making them perfect for a Valentine’s Day experience. Tickets are on sale now, starting at $68.89.
