This all-inclusive experience features a three-course dinner at The Establishment, recommended in The MICHELIN Guide 2025, curated wine pairings, a specialty cocktail, taxes and gratuity—plus an intimate live performance. Tickets are limited and consistently sell out, so early booking is highly recommended.

Charleston Jazz Festival | Dinner + Show Featuring Ann Caldwell & LooseFitt Jazz Ensemble

The Establishment

The Charleston Jazz Festival honors the life, music, and uncompromising spirit of Nina Simone – dubbed the ‘High Priestess of Soul’ – who reshaped jazz, soul, classical, and protest music with a voice that could soothe, scorch, and summon truth all at once. Captivating vocalist Alva Anderson and a trio of Charleston musicians will trace Simone’s story from the hills of North Carolina to the countryside of France exploring Simone’s unique blend or musical styles as well as her role as a civil right activist who used music as a powerful vehicle for change. Through reimagined arrangements and faithful renditions, the evening traces Simone’s journey from intimate love songs to fearless anthems of resistance, celebrating her genius as a pianist, singer, and activist.
