We here in Pocatello, Idaho are blessed with a world-class venue for the performing arts, the L.E. and Thelma E. Stephens Performing Arts Center. Every group that comes through Pocatello and performs there comments on how magnificent the facility is. As a result, we’ve gotten some great performances during this past year.

The facility has two performance areas (with a third planned when enough money is raised), a theater and a grand performance hall. There are two subscription series, The Season of Note and The Idaho State Civic Symphony. We buy tickets to both of them and are particularly impressed with the Symphony. This fall we’ve been to see the 5 Browns and Rockapella along with two Symphony performances. The last event we attended there was the 25th Annual Messiah Sing. This event was previously held in the Highland Stake Center but had pretty much outgrown the facility. This time there were more than 700 people singing in the chorus plus another 900 there to listen. We had a fabulous time.

The best performance (the link is to my blog post about this performance), however, was last April with the Symphony along with the Camarata Singers. That was one fabulous concert. It just gets better and better here in Pocatello!

Ta ta for now!
