Jazz Subscription Series Tickets on Sale for Inaugural Boise Jazz Society Season

The Boise Jazz Society, partnering Boise’s jazz supporters with Boise State University’s College of Arts and Sciences and Department of Music, announces the launch of its inaugural season with a membership drive in support of its three-concert, Jazz Subscription Series. Upcoming concerts include:

• The Mark Levine Trio, Oct. 7
• The Hoenig-Pilc Project, Feb. 3
• The Theo Saunders Quartet, April 27

All concerts begin at 7:30 p.m. with doors opening at 6:45 p.m. at the Esther Simplot Performing Arts Academy Lobby, 516 S. Ninth St., Boise. Seating is open, and a no-host bar and snacks will be available. Tickets for the three-concert subscription series are $95.40, including tax. Purchasers of a subscription series ticket become members of the newly formed Boise Jazz Society.

In addition, each concert will be preceded by a free Boise Community Jazz Symposium where the public may meet, hear and interact with the artists on the day of the concert, gaining insight into their music and a deeper understanding of jazz in general. Select local jazz players, both amateur and professional, will be invited to perform with the artists, receiving critiques and advice. Each symposium will be from 4-5:30 p.m. in the academy lobby.

The Boise Jazz Society is dedicated to raising awareness of jazz as art music; promoting live jazz performances; sponsoring jazz subscription-series concerts presented in an intimate, jazz-club environment; enhancing educational opportunities by producing a series of lectures, workshops and master classes; and providing information to the community on local and regional jazz activities.
