Jazz Forward Program

The Boise Jazz Society is proud to expand jazz education through our new School Outreach Program, Jazz Forward, bringing professional jazz musicians directly into local Idaho schools. Through this initiative, students gain first hand exposure to live jazz performance and the opportunity to interact with working professional artists in an educational setting in the Treasure Valley area.
