The Boise Phil has announced its 2022-23 "Season of Wonder," featuring celebrated canonical works; the Boise Phil co-commissions from Jennifer Higdon, Vijay Iyer, and Jimmy López Bellido; performances from world-renowned guest artists including violinist Timothy Chooi, pianist Fei-Fei, and cellist Inbal Segev; and a one-of-a-kind book club.

The 2022-23 season kicks off with a free community concert, followed by seven Classics Series concerts, a new Family Concert, performances by the Boise Phil Master Chorale and Youth Orchestras, and in-classroom clinics performed by Boise Phil conductors and musicians. Repertoire on the Classics Series concerts includes Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 in B minor "Pathétique," Valerie Coleman's Umoja: Anthem of Unity for Orchestra, Brahms's Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Paul Dukas's The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, and Chevalier de Saint-Georges's Overture to The Anonymous Lover.

Music Director of the Boise Phil, Eric Garcia, says, "This season highlights the transcendence of masterworks from the classical canon and beyond. We are honored to be on the forefront of classical music and bring to our wonderful community three amazing co-commissions by three of America's most thrilling and lauded composers. And, the Boise Phil is thrilled to launch a book club on January 1, 2023 around Clemency Burton-Hill's awe-inspiring Year of Wonder, which has informed our entire season."

Year of Wonder by Clemency Burton-Hill introduces readers to one piece of classical music each day of the year, artfully selected from across genres, time periods, and composers. Just as Year of Wonder is a book for everyone, the Boise Phil's 2022-23 season reinforces that symphonic music is for all.

In an effort to expand accessibility, the Boise Phil has rebranded the organization's Digital Stage - previously a subscription service for patrons - as free-for-all and is now publicly available through the organization's YouTube channel. Access is now open to view select works from Classics Series concerts, chamber music, interviews, pre-concert talks, and select performances from past seasons.

Classics Series packages for in-person performances are now on sale. Single tickets go on sale August 1 and can be purchased at www.boisephil.org or by calling the Boise Phil box office at (208) 344-7849.
