In his second year as musical director of the Philharmonic, Maestro Robert Franz and the orchestra have embarked on what the press has called “perhaps the most ambitious schedule ever”. Franz, who says he was “amazed with the arts scene in Boise” when he arrived last season, has initiated on-stage partnerships with several of Boise’s other fine and performing arts groups, including Opera Idaho, the Idaho Shakespeare Festival, the Boise Master Chorale, Ballet Idaho, Boise Philharmonic Youth Orchestra, BSU Orchestra and Chorus, and the College of Idaho Chorus. “Collaborating with other high quality arts groups is one way of reaching out to new audiences while bringing a fresh, exciting way of looking at some of the greatest orchestra masterpieces in the repertoire,” says Franz.
In the center of all of this will be the extraordinary musicians of the Boise Philharmonic. “These talented artists are an inspiration to me and their desire to share their talents with colleagues, students, audiences and me is a true gift. Let the collaborations begin!” Listen or Subscribe |
