Boise Music Week is proud to present

Chairperson: Beverly Schumacher

Boise Music Week is thrilled to present the 2027 “All That’s Jazz!” celebration — a dazzling tribute marking 90 years since the passing of the legendary George Gershwin, whose music continues to electrify audiences around the world.

Get ready for “Gershwin,” a show-stopping event featuring Boise’s internationally acclaimed piano virtuoso Del Parkinson. Del will bring Gershwin’s genius to life with a powerful performance of the iconic Rhapsody in Blue — the groundbreaking masterpiece that forever changed American music. First premiered in 1924, Rhapsody in Blue fused jazz and classical traditions in a way no one had ever heard before, launching Gershwin into musical immortality. To add to the pleasure, Del will also perform Gershwin’s Three Preludes.

Gershwin’s extraordinary career was tragically cut short in 1937 at just 38 years old, yet his influence remains unmatched. His works have become beloved jazz standards and continue to shine in film, television, and concert halls across the globe.

This year’s celebration also welcomes back The Switch in Time Jazz Orchestra and dynamic jazz vocalist Michele Eastland, making her highly anticipated Boise Music Week debut. Michele will light up the stage with Gershwin favorites from Broadway. She’ll be joined for a special number by retired KTVB anchorman Mark Johnson, returning after his crowd pleasing debut at last year’s All That’s Jazz! to perform Gershwin showtune duets.

Don’t miss this spectacular celebration of Gershwin’s legacy, Boise’s finest talent, and the timeless magic of American jazz.
