The Gene Harris All-Stars Jazz program is an after-school program designed for high school students who want to be more engaged with jazz performances in the Treasure Valley.
This audition-only program is open to a select group of students who will be required to attend rehearsals every other week during the school year. These rehearsals are coached by local jazz professionals, and students will get to interact with many other jazz professionals from the region and country.
The All-Stars will perform several concerts per year including a featured performance at the Treefort Music Festival in March. The All-Star program is forming partnerships with local jazz organizations to provide exclusive opportunities. These may include concert tickets, masterclasses, lessons, and side-by-side performances.
