JAMI Amphitheater Adjacent to Gualala Arts Center

Advance Tickets are $20 general admission, $15 youth, and are available at Gualala Arts and the Dolphin Gallery.

“The Open Air” includes shakuhachi master Karl Young, Tim Mueller and Chris Doering on guitars and basses and Gabriel Yañez on drums. “We chose the theme and title ‘Musicaliving’ for this performance to emphasize that playing and listening to music is an essential part of life,” says Chris Doering. “We’re so glad that we can share the experience of music with a live audience in a safe environment, thanks to the support of Gualala Arts and the outdoor JAMI Amphitheater.”

Saturday’s diverse program ranges from jazz standards to world music, original compositions and adaptations of folk and pop forms. “The set list is chosen to reflect the open air that is home to all music,” says Karl Young. “Listening is the thread that holds it all together, both for the players and for the audience.”

The JAMI Amphitheater can seat up to 200 people, but will be limited to 50% capacity for this event in order to provide a safe environment. Masks are required everywhere on the grounds of Gualala Arts, both indoors and outdoors.

Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 if available and purchased on Saturday, the day of the show. Youth tickets are $15. They are available at Gualala Arts, open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and at the Dolphin Gallery in Cypress Village, Thursday through Monday, 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
