Ravenscroft

Ravenscroft opened its doors in October 2021. The 30,000 square foot music venue and multi-use space is located at 8445 E. Hartford Drive, Scottsdale, AZ 85255 (in the Perimeter Complex).

Ravenscroft Hall is an intimate 200 seat concert hall that showcases world-renowned and Grammy Award-winning artists featured in some of the finest Jazz performances in the Phoenix metro area. ​

Ravenscroft Hall offers an unparalleled musical experience with superb acoustics featuring the renowned Meyer Constellation sound system. Fans enjoy an optimal listening experience and perfect viewing from any seat in this performance space. Some shows also feature projected visuals that accompany the music, creating a multi-sensory experience for attendees.

The performance venue also includes the Jazzbird, a modern lounge themed after an urban New York City jazz club. Jazzbird hosts music from popular and up & coming local musicians accompanied by a fine selection of wine, local craft beers and catered meals for purchase.

Ravenscroft is an outreach of Music Serving the Word Ministries, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit private foundation, and is dedicated to presenting creativity that gives glory to God. MSW was founded by Bob and Gretchen Ravenscroft in 2006. If you've ever enjoyed a jazz concert in the Phoenix area over the last twenty years, chances are very good that it was made possible in part or in whole through the philanthropy of Bob and Gretchen Ravenscroft. As major donors to Arizona State University's Jazz Studies program, and as founders of a scholarship program for young jazz musicians, the Ravenscrofts have been instrumental in promoting and preserving jazz as an original art form for future generations.
