Ballet Idaho is thrilled to be presenting an anthology of work at The Argyros this November. The program will be stylistically diverse and provide an intimate showcase for the artistry and athleticism of Ballet Idaho’s dancers. Congruence was jointly choreographed by Anne Mueller and Garrett Anderson, set to the music of Chicago-based composer, Marc Mellits. This piece is an exploration of creative synergy and collaboration between two choreographers, the talented performers, and Mellits’ nuanced musical phrasing. Terrance Marling’s Twice (Once) is set to the gorgeous music of contemporary composer Anna Clyne’s Within Her Arms. This is a subtle yet stirring piece that contemplates the afterlife, drawn from personal experiences of both composer and choreographer. Clyne wrote this piece of music honoring the passing of her mother, and Marling’s response drew upon his own near-death experience as a child. While the inspiration explores images of mortality and afterlife, this work is an uplifting and poignant abstraction of the human spirit. Danielle Rowe created For Pixie, inspired by the life and love of her own grandparents. In this powerful duet to the music of Nina Simone’s Wild is the Wind, Rowe explores the emotional interdependence between two lifelong companions embodied in captivating …

What We’re Made of: Sonic Boom
While many businesses over the years have sold a smattering of records (and back in the day, shops like Twist n Trout and Big Bad Bills sold CDs), the Wood River Valley has never had a dedicated record store selling vinyl (at least not in my lifetime). But Mike Pitts, owner of Sonic Boom in Seattle and now Sun Valley, has opened the doors to Ketchum’s newest record store, peddling new and used vinyl, as well as tapes and CDs, to all manner of music lover in the area. The History It was a bit of a journey for Mike to make his way to the music industry. While he had been buying records from Sonic Boom since he was a teenager, Mike had been operating a real estate company with his brother-in-law for ten years when Sonic Boom was listed for sale, in 2016. Luckily, his supportive wife, who knew how miserable Mike was in the real estate game, called and told him he was quitting his job and figuring out how to purchase Sonic Boom and make it work. So he did, and soon he was the owner of an establishment that had been an integral part of …
