Gene Harris Jazz
The Gene Harris Jazz Program honors pianist Gene Harris by advancing jazz education and creating performance opportunities for students. Rooted in the festival that began in 1998, our program focuses on hands-on learning through masterclasses, workshops, outreach events and ensemble performances that connect learners with faculty and visiting artists.
This allows us to ensure these high-profile, experiential performing opportunities are accessible to more students across the program, keeping education and community engagement at the program’s heart.
Treefort at Boise State
Part of Treefort Music Festival, Treefort at Boise State brings the festival onto Boise State’s campus. Gene Harris Jazz events play a central role at Treefort at Boise State across multiple venues, including the Campus Amphitheater.
Treefort at Boise State gives students hands-on performance and learning opportunities, connects them with industry professionals and invites the wider Boise community to experience the creativity and energy of the Gene Harris legacy.
