A Message from Robert!

Dear Friends,

I hope that you are having a safe and rewarding summer in these most unusual of times. I am reaching out to you to share with you a bit of news that is occurring in my life.

My family and I are moving to Canada! This plan has been in development for the past 12 months. Now that we have the opportunity to get in during a pandemic, we decided to take the leap. This move aligns with our family’s current situation and our future goals. In fact, for the past seven years, I have been travelling monthly between Boise and Windsor!

What does this mean for Boise Baroque Orchestra? Nothing! I will be continuing in my role as Artistic Director and have signed a longer-term contract. I have been working from home on a regular basis for the past six months already, as we all continue to develop our remote management communication skills. Once we return to a normal season, I will continue with my regular schedule of conducting three weeks of concerts per season, plus will carry on with all of my other responsibilities as Artistic Director. I will be continuing with Idaho Orchestra Institute as well. That means I will return to my beloved Boise at least once a quarter. In effect, I will be reverse commuting!

So, for now we bid you adieu, but only until the orchestra and I make music together again. The BBO will be in touch in the next few weeks as our plans for the fall and beyond are formalized. I have a special place in my heart for you, our audience, and for the incredible musicians of the BBO. You aren’t going to get rid of me that easily!

All the best,

Robert

Thanks to the flexibility of our musicians we have rescheduled our March 28/29 season finale to July as a streaming event.

About Boise Baroque

The Boise Baroque Orchestra was formed in 2003, with the goal of bringing the best of the baroque and classical repertoire to the Treasure Valley. The musicians are professionals in the area, many of whom perform with the Boise Philharmonic, the Boise Philharmonic Master Chorale and Opera Idaho. The Boise Baroque Orchestra is developing new audiences and providing musicians with the opportunity to significantly extend their repertoire.
