Friday, April 18th, 2026 | 5:30 pm – 9:30 pm
The Grove Hotel | Boise, Idaho
An elegant evening of fine dining, live music, and exclusive auction experiences all in support of the Boise Phil’s 2025-26 Season and Youth Education Program. Save the date and join us as we celebrate culture, community, and the next generation of musicians.
About the Event
The Encore Ball is Boise Phil’s premier fundraising gala and social highlight of the season. Each year, friends of the orchestra come together for an evening of exquisite food, elegant music, and meaningful philanthropy. Proceeds from this year’s Encore Ball directly supports the Boise Phil Youth Education Program.
This season’s theme, Spring in Paris, inspired by the City of Light’s timeless artistic heritage, celebrates renewal, creativity, and the power of patronage. While the evening evokes the elegance of a Parisian spring, every gift made this night helps build a lasting cultural legacy here in the Treasure Valley.
