The Encore is a performance venue without fixed walls — relocatable to any stage, any season, any space. Every show streams free to the world. Always family-friendly. Always affordable.
The Encore is the live streaming and venue partnership program of Jazzmania Live. It is not a building. It is a performance series that travels — setting up wherever live jazz is needed most, in intimate halls and open parks, and streaming every show live to anyone in the world who wants to listen.
What makes it The Encore is not the address. It is the music, the standard, and the mission: live jazz that is accessible, affordable, family-friendly, and always real.
"The Encore isn't just a series of shows. It's a permanent argument that live music belongs everywhere."
During the summer series at The Cascades, The Encore streams something truly special: Open Stage performances where the house band opens the floor to guest performers throughout the evening. Watch vocalists, instrumentalists, spoken word artists, and emerging performers join seasoned musicians on stage for jazz standards, originals, and spontaneous collaborations.
Every Open Stage performance is unique — built in the moment through creativity, improvisation, and community. What you see on the stream is a live, collaborative jazz experience that celebrates both the music and the musicians who make it.
"Open Stage turns every performance into a musical conversation between friends, seasoned artists, and emerging voices — all under the open sky."
