Soulful Soirée — Presented by Whitney Jones Music & Centered.PhxSaturday, April 18, 2026
Phoenix Center for the Arts — Courtyard
1202 N 3rd Street, Phoenix, AZ 85004
An intimate night of Contemporary Jazz, R&B, and Soul designed to feel elevated, warm, and unforgettable.
Soulful Soirée is the kind of night people remember long after the music ends — because the room is intentional, the musicians are world-class, and every moment is designed to connect.

Whitney Jones
Whitney Jones is gaining international attention for the depth and soul in her music. Paris-based music publication Paris-Move called her “one of the most inspired and inspiring artists” in today’s soul and jazz scene.
Her single “Under The Moonlight” reached #1 on the Urban Influencer Smooth Jazz Charts, and her debut album Based On Reality is a powerful journey through love, healing, courage, and self-empowerment.
Soulful Soirée brings Whitney’s music to life in an intimate setting where every lyric, groove, and solo lands exactly the way it was meant to.
