The Boise Master Chorale is looking forward to a very special 33rd season in 2008-09, highlighted by our collaboration with two different children's choirs and our performance with the Boise Philharmonic in their inaugural season with Robert Franz as Musical Director. As always, we will anchor the season with our traditional performance of Handel's Messiah in December. This year, we will be performing each concert twice: once in the Cathedral of the Rockies in Boise, and once at the Brant Center in Nampa. All of us on the Board and in the Chorale are pleased and proud of our season, and hope that you will join us for some beautiful music.

October - Die Geburt Christi
Austian composer Heinrich Herzogenberg and his wife, Elisabeth, were friends of Johannes Brahms and they exchanged letters often. Herzogenberg's Op. 90 was written in 1894 and tells the story of the birth of Christ. This church oratorio was chosen especially for our season theme, Music for All Ages, and it features a little bit of something for everyone; familiar melodies, children's chorus, men's quartet, beautiful orchestration, and grand organ sounds.
December - Messiah
Hallelujah, the Boise Master Chorale performs G.F. Handel's Messiah for you and yours during the holiday season with full orchestra, soloists, trumpets, timpani, and resounding choruses.
January - Voices of Light
The Boise Master Chorale joins the Boise Philharmonic Orchestra in an extraordinary performance experience as we provide live music for the 1928 silent film, The Passion of Joan of Arc. Entitled Voices of Light, this ethereal music was composed by Richard Einhorn and premiered in 1994. Tickets available only through the Boise Philharmonic.
April - Mass of the Children
The music of English composer John Rutter is not unfamiliar to Boise Master Chorale audiences. His Mass of the Children, for soprano, baritone, children's choir, adult choir and orchestra, was premiered at Carnegie Hall in 2003. This inspirational music provides a beautiful conclusion to our concert season, Music for All Ages.
