Idaho Falls Youth Symphony Print E-mail

The Idaho Falls Youth Symphony was founded in 1989.  The purpose of the Youth Symphony is to provide young musicians a positive, educational, and fulfilling experience as members of a full orchestra. The Youth Symphony also seeks to enhance area school music programs by providing an experience that will challenge the students’ developing musical skills. Many of the concerts have featured young artists as soloists, as well as noted guest artists from Russia and the Utah Opera. They have also performed with area choruses and were the featured performing group in the Christian Counseling Services’ annual Messiah sing-along. The Youth Symphony was the featured performing group in the 1995 broadcast of the Colonial Theatre fund-raiser, aired over local CBS affiliate KIDK Channel 3.

If you are interested in being a part of the Idaho Youth Symphony, the auditions are on September 2, 2010 from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m. View more information on the audition and what is expected including the Audition Form..



David BurgerDavid A. Burger, Conductor


David Burger has always loved music, and sat for hours as a child, listening to his parents' recordings of the great symphonies. He grew up in southern Wisconsin, playing clarinet in bands and orchestras there. In 1978 he graduated from Brigham Young University in Provo with a Bachelor of Arts degree and a major in music education. While at BYU he played clarinet in the Wind Ensemble, Chamber Orchestra, and Philharmonic Orchestra. He also developed a love for the tuba and the double bass by playing those instruments in the Symphony Orchestra. In 1987 he graduated from the University of Idaho with a Master of Music degree. While at the U of I he played upright bass in a jazz ensemble of graduate students.

David first taught high school band and choir in southern Utah for 4 years. While there, he instituted an elementary music program and taught band and choir at 2 elementary schools as well as general music at the junior high level. He came to Idaho Falls High School in 1981 and is currently the Director of Bands, teaching symphonic band, chamber ensembles, marching band, pep band, jazz ensemble, percussion ensemble, philharmonic orchestra, and classical guitar. Many students have also benefited from his private music studio. David served for four years as president of the Gem State Music District which comprises the ten large high schools in eastern Idaho. As President he was also a member of the Idaho Music Educators Board of Directors. While serving on the state board, he researched and wrote the bylaws for the Idaho State Solo Contest, which has been active for more than a decade, and is open to all qualifying high school students in Idaho. David has appeared as conductor of various Clinic Bands in the state and has judged at many festivals. In addition he has been the Idaho All-State Band Chairman for three different All-State Bands.

David currently serves as the Principal Tuba player in the Idaho Falls Symphony, and has also played double bass (serving as principal for 10 years), principal clarinet, bass clarinet, and timpani. Besides his duties with the Idaho Falls Symphony and the Youth Symphony, he conducts the Silent Film concert on the BNFL Snake River Chamber Series. David is also the tuba player in the Yellowstone Brass, and the Idaho Falls Symphony Brass Quintet, both professional ensembles located here in eastern Idaho.
