Boise's Philharmonic displays the sort of surprising excellence that new residents of this area will find themselves running into again and again. You wouldn't expect a city of just a few hundred thousand to have a symphony of this quality. Their performances are very powerful, even if you have a limited experience with classical music. My wife and I have promised to make taking in a concert an annual (at least) rite. We've seen them play at NNU in Nampa; I'd assume that the Morrison Center's acoustics are at least as good.
