Composer Jeffrey Nytch will join us!
In 2013, the Boulder Philharmonic performed the world premiere of Jeffrey Nytch’s First Symphony, “Formations,” which draws inspiration from Colorado’s fascinating rocks and geology. Visit some of those rock formations – and meet the composer in person - with community naturalist Dave Sutherland. We'll take a musical journey into Boulder’s past with wild stories of dinosaurs, glaciers, vast swamps, ancient oceans and mountain ranges now vanished into the dust of time. We’ll play excerpts from the orchestral work on portable speakers during the hike, with commentary from the composer. Plan on hiking 2.5 miles, with 400 feet elevation gain.
Where and when to meet: Meet at 12:30 PM on the north side of NCAR at the trailhead for the Walter Orr Roberts Nature Trail.
