With more than 160 members, two orchestras and a full performance schedule, the Boise Phil Youth Orchestra is a joy to hear and to be a part of. Under the direction of music director Jennifer Drake, these young musicians receive professional ensemble training and coaching by the Boise Phil orchestra musicians. The youth orchestras are open to woodwind, brass, percussion, and string students in 9th-12th grade by audition only.
