The Commodore, reimagined as a best-in-class music venue.

We're working to transform The Commodore into a best-in-class, high-fidelity music venue and supper club in Cathedral Hill. This campaign helps to fund important upgrades to the venue including a new sound system, lighting, staging, and infrastructure.
