Welcome to our 66th season! Join us for a star-studded lineup of guest artists from around the world, performing adventurous programs that go beyond imagination. We have a beautiful new Eugene Ballet production followed by the wizardry of Mark O’Connor, plus Handel’s Messiah and memorable music by Gershwin, Mahler, Mozart, and more. Invite your kids to the Symphony in the Park, the Family Concert, and the Idaho Falls Youth Symphony, because we want to introduce music to young people and encourage the musical talents of the next generation. Don’t miss a beat: mark your calendars, get season tickets, and prepare to be amazed by the Symphony experience.
