Boise State University Department of Music at Morrison Center For The Performing Arts

Pick out a woodwind line and see how long you can stay with it when the brass comes in. The Boise State All-Star Honor Band and Symphonic Winds share the program at the Morrison Center in Boise. On February 20, the Boise State All-Star Honor Band & Symphonic Winds share one concert, giving listeners a rare chance to experience two wind groups in a single setting. For anyone who enjoys hearing how a large ensemble comes together, this is a strong reason to attend.

The appeal here is in the listening itself. These student musicians shape ensemble sound in real time, and that makes the performance rewarding from the first phrase onward. As lines move through the band, you can follow how individual parts connect, support, and stand out within the larger whole. It is a focused musical experience built around attention and ensemble awareness.

The Morrison Center adds a fitting home for a program like this in Boise. The hall places the emphasis on the music and the players, which suits a concert centered on wind-band detail. Audiences interested in concert band and symphonic winds will find plenty to appreciate in the contrast and connection between the two groups.

If you go with a student musician, let them pick the part they want to follow. A concert can be a chance to hear what other players do with the same instrument they practice at home.
