About this tip
The Timucua White House, on South Summerlin Avenue in the SoDo area, is a three-story home turned intimate concert hall with chamber music, jazz, acoustic guitar, vocal ensembles and world music. The room is small, so shows feel like a living-room listening session. Check the foundation's calendar and book early, because a waiting list has been reported for popular events. Parking is free.
