marvels await. Registration required. Limit 15 participants due to
sensitivity of the habitat.
Naturalist Dave Sutherland will guide a gentle journey from sunset into the
light of the rising full moon with a varied selection of classical music
inspired by our silvery celestial neighbor, interspersed with modern-day
science. This field trip is jointly sponsored by Boulder County Audubon
Society and the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra as part of the Musical Hikes
program <https://boulderphil.org/musical-nature-hikes>.
