Leo Listening Room

The Leo listening room is the jewel of the QCB and a civic treasure. For some, the Leo has become a musical oasis, a place to enjoy live music in a room filled with attentive listeners. The quality of attention directly affects the nature and quality of the performance. Bring your best ears.

“The role of the audience is as necessary to the musical event as is the role of the musician.”
—Robert Fripp

For performers, the chance to play to an attentive audience in a fine-sounding room is indeed a gem, an ideal setting to share your music, to hone your performance craft.

All performances are unpaid, keeping it truly all about the music. Leo performers are welcome to offer for sale their CDs and other merchandise at the coffeehouse.
