North Idaho Philharmonia
New to the idaho panhandle
The North Idaho Philharmonia (NIPH) strives for excellence in the musical arts through the creation of unique, transcendental ensemble sound. We invite local and international professional and young musicians to participate in 4 to 6 performances in each concert season.
NIPH, in collaboration with the Music Conservatory of Sandpoint and other high-level performing arts institutions, is focused on orchestral and chamber music literature. Programming will feature diverse styles from all musical periods with an emphasis on classical music.
NIPH, led by artistic director, Jan Pellant, regularly invites guest conductors, composers and soloists from around the world. Each performance is intended to create a once-in-a-lifetime musical experience.
Your support of the Music Conservatory of Sandpoint is appreciated!
