Insects and Classical Music PROGRAM CANCELED
Saturday August 15. 8 - 9:30 am
Why have composers been fascinated by bugs and spiders, and how have they tried to capture them in their music? Join Dave Sutherland, teamed up with the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra and the Butterfly Pavilion, for a stroll through the Wings of the Tropics rainforest exhibit at the Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster, while listening to recorded music selections inspired by the world of invertebrates. Butterflies, crickets, bees and wasps, spiders and even praying mantises have been captured in music! The adventure continues in the Butterfly Pavilion’s Discovery Gardens, where we’ll gently capture some live invertebrates among the flowers and listen to more music. Don’t miss this unique journey into the mysterious and musical world of bugs!
Admission to the Butterfly Pavilion is required, $10 members $12 non members. Sign up here: https://butterflies.org/invertebrates-and-music-walks-2026/
