Music Poetry Of The Heart

This will mark the 91st year that Boise Music Week has entertaining the people of Boise. The festival began in 1924 when Eugene Farmer, music director at St. Michael’s Episcopal Church, envisioned a free festival of music for the people of Boise.
The festival begins the last week of April and lasts until the first Saturday of May, and is staffed entirely by volunteers.
My first experience with the festival was in 1991, when I moved to Boise for the first time. As I remember, we attended a presentation of Annie at the Velma Morrison Center For The Performing Arts. Since then I have made it a point to attend as many of the events as I can during the music festival.
The musical for this year is Brigadoon, which will run from May 6 through May 9.
If you happen to be visiting Boise during music week I highly recommended taking in a few of the events.
