The Boise Phil is about more than performance. We want to engage our community in the history of classical music, the context of a particular symphony or arrangement, the biographies of our past and present master composers, and to have fun! Take advantage of our various online and in-person programming to learn more about who we are, what we play, and why.
Season Overview
Learn about the pieces that the Boise Phil is offering in our 60th Anniversary Season.

Pre-Concert Talks with the Phil
When was this piece written? What’s the difference between a symphony and a concerto? All of your questions, technical and curious, are welcome at our pre-concert conversation series. Our host Jamey Lamar will discuss musical influences, history of composition, composers, era, and answer questions to enhance your listening experience.
When: 1 hour prior to concert start time
Cost: Free to all ticket-holders for that evening’s concert
Post-Concert Talks with the Phil
