The Symphony, founded in the early 1990s, is a cooperative ISU/community effort.  Performing in the Joseph C. Jensen Grand Concert Hall of the L.E. and Thelma E. Stephens Performing Arts Center, the Symphony’s regular performance schedule consists of five classical concerts, a Pops concert, and Family Concerts. The Idaho State-Civic Symphony Association, governed by a 30-member volunteer board of directors with the assistance of the Executive Director, provides funding and support for both the orchestra’s performances and educational programs.
