The premier home for jazz & cabaret in Des Moines, Iowa, hosting acts both local & national, featurin

Noce is an all-ages jazz & cabaret club opened in Des Moines in late 2015. Owned by arts supporter Maria Reveiz along with vocalist/producer Max Wellman, this beautiful club plays host to some of the best jazz music the United States has to offer while also serving as a home for Des Moines' thriving jazz scene. Under Wellman's direction, Noce offers live entertainment Tuesday through Saturday evenings (at least), highlighted by a Tuesday night residency featuring the Des Moines Big Band. The club is honored to be housed in a fully renovated building designed by architect Evan Shaw (KnowlesBlunck Architecture). Additionally, Noce is proud to offer a private event space, Backstage, available for events ranging from small get-togethers to large-scale weddings & corporate parties.

“You don’t need to look to New York City or Chicago for beautiful, high-quality, creative music. There are amazing artists and musicians doing incredible things right here.” — Mike Conrad

That core belief is what drives Iowa Jazz Composers Orchestra (IJCO). Formerly known as COLOSSUS Central, award-winning composer and UNI Director of Jazz Studies Mike Conrad resurrected this ensemble with a mission to showcase the absolute best jazz writers and performers the state of Iowa has to offer.

On Saturday, October 24th, The Iowa Jazz Composers Orchestra take the Noce stage to celebrate the release of their brand-new album, 'Our Harvest'. 🌾 Join the album release party & help celebrate Iowa's finest jazz composers in a room dedicated to Iowan musicians.

The 1400 block of Walnut Street was officially named "Downtown’s Coolest Scene" by The Des Moines Register & Iowa Life! 💙 We are so lucky to share this street with the absolute best neighbors in town.

Next time you’re heading to Noce for a show, make a full day or night out of it - stop by some of our friends at Horizon Line Coffee, Hotori Market, Exile Brewing Co., The Walnut, Locals Bar & Stage, or The Cave DSM.

A huge thank you to the Des Moines Register & Susan Stapleton for the shout out, & thank you to all of our wonderful patrons who make what we do possible. 🎶
