Investing in the Future of Jazz

Lala's Jazz

Since 2019, Gem State Jazz Camp has inspired local students to grow as musicians and leaders. Our programs are rapidly expanding to meet the needs of our community, including an exciting new overnight camp experience for high schoolers.

To ensure every passionate young musician has the opportunity to attend regardless of financial standing, we partner with Lala’s Jazz, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering the art form of jazz and supporting youth musicians right here in Idaho's Treasure Valley.
