"For seventy-four consecutive seasons, the Idaho Falls Symphony has provided quality live orchestral experiences for the enjoyment, enrichment, and education of audiences and musicians alike. The Symphony presents an annual concert series that brings the best of classical music to a variety of local venues, including Freeman Park, the Colonial Theater, and the Frontier Center for the Performing Arts (formerly the Idaho Falls Civic Center for the Performing Arts). Established in 1949, the Symphony was originally presented by the Idaho Falls Music Club and the Community Concerts Association. The Symphony redefined itself in 1961 when the Idaho Falls Symphony Society was incorporated, by-laws were formulated, and a board of directors was elected with Lowell Jobe as President. The Symphony Society has since partnered with many local sponsors to promote a vibrant and nationally recognized symphony orchestra."
