✨ Boise, wait no more! Our 26/27 season is finally here, and it’s basically a love letter to everything that makes live music electric. We’re kicking things off with the sheer energy of Beethoven’s 7th, taking a deep dive into the cosmos with The Planets, and even teaming up with our Youth Orchestra for a massive performance of Elgar’s Enigma Variations.
If you’ve been missing that high-energy, cinematic feel, you’ll be as hyped as we are that the Pops Series is officially back—think everything from a nostalgic trip through Middle-earth and Hyrule in our video game symphony to a full-throttle tribute to Led Zeppelin. Whether you’re looking for the timeless beauty of The Moldau or a family night out with Elf in Concert, this season is all about those “hairs standing up on your arms” moments.
Want the best seats at the best price? Subscribing is now easier than ever with our brand-new mobile portal. Lock in your favorite spots for the whole year and get first dibs on exclusive add-ons like The Four Seasons and Messiah before they’re gone!

A season finale this grand deserves a soloist who is nothing short of a “phenomenon.” 🎹✨
We are thrilled to welcome Stewart Goodyear to the Morrison Center stage on May 16 & 17! Recognized as one of the most accomplished and visionary pianists of his generation, Stewart will be performing Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini—a piece that demands equal parts poetic grace and absolute technical wizardry.
Whether he’s composing new works or breathing fresh life into the greats, Stewart’s energy is infectious. You won’t want to be anywhere else when he joins Conductor Eric Garcia and the full orchestra to close out our 2025-26 season!
🗓 May 16 & 17, 2026
