Choral / Orchestra Combined Concert

Morrison Center for the Performing Arts

Experience music that captures the full range of human emotions and celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Boise Phil Master Chorale. The program begins with Jennifer Higdon’s blue cathedral, an evocative and meditative journey to find healing from grief, and closes with one of the most epic orchestral and choral pieces ever written; Carmina Burana.

Carmina Burana

We open this series by honoring the memory of Boise composer David Alan Earnest with a performance of his thrilling overture Turbulence, composed for the Boise Phil in 2013. For these performances, we will be joined by the talented BPYO seniors. Next, Boise Phil Principal Cellist Philip Kettler joins us for Saint-Saëns’ lyrical Cello Concerto No. 1. The program concludes with Ravel’s elegant Le Tombeau de Couperin and Richard Strauss’ lush Der Rosenkavalier Suite. Both Ravel and Strauss connect through their nostalgic nods to the past: Ravel pays homage to the Baroque era and two friends lost in World War 1, blending grace and clarity with 20th-century style, while Strauss evokes the lavish charm and romanticism of a bygone Viennese world.
