We are delighted to invite you on an extraordinary journey.
This summer, the Boise Baroque Orchestra presents A Musical Passport, three concerts that cross centuries and continents, bringing the color, drama, and beauty of the Baroque era to life in two beautiful Treasure Valley venues.

Guests are invited to bring their own picnic or purchase food on site and enjoy eating, drinking and socializing while listening to a concert on the lawn, conducted by Interim Artistic Director Daniel Wiley.
