An all-American program that celebrates the rich musical history of our country, past and present. Members of the Boise Phil Youth Orchestra take the stage in a side-by-side performance of William Grant Still’s brassy Festive Overture. Travel to the misty blue mountains of Appalachia with Jennifer Higdon’s Suite from Cold Mountain, and simmer in the deep South with Florence Price’s stunning Piano Concerto. Then, it’s a snappy, jazzy jaunt to New York City with Gershwin’s famous Rhapsody in Blue, which he once called “a musical kaleidoscope of America.”

I’ve noticed Boise Phil isn’t performing the Classics Series in Nampa. Why?
Our Classics Series performances in Nampa are paused due to low ticket sales in that region. We care deeply about the West Treasure Valley and want to ensure that our programming is accessible to all – our classroom education programs, community engagement and other special performances will continue in Nampa and across the entire West Valley.
