This program captures the full range of human emotions and experiences. We celebrate the Boise Phil Master Chorale’s 50th anniversary with Carl Orff’s epic masterpiece, Carmina Burana. The program opens with Jennifer Higdon’s ethereal blue cathedral, a beautiful and meditative tribute to the human spirit, composed in the wake of her brother’s passing.

Set sail on a nostalgic journey through the breezy, laid-back sounds of soft rock music from the 70s and 80s. “Yacht Rock” defined a generation and continues to be prevalent throughout pop culture today. Boise Native Morgan James, Doug Wamble and John Scarpulla join the orchestra to lead you on a musical voyage performing hits from Hall & Oates, Christopher Cross, Fleetwood Mac, George Michael, Kenny Loggins and many more.

We conclude the season with a spectacular finale featuring Respighi’s stunning depictions of Rome’s glorious landmarks in the Fountains of Rome and the Pines of Rome. Pianist Stewart Goodyear joins us for Rachmaninoff’s virtuosic Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, a thrilling showcase of technical brilliance. The program opens with Michael Torke’s audience favorite Javelin, a work commissioned by the Atlanta Committee for the Olympics and performed at the opening ceremony of the 1996 Summer Olympics.
