The Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra recently performed Gossamer Depths, a new work by Boulder composer Leigha Amick, who was inspired by a Hubble telescope photo of the glorious Orion Nebula. Join the composer and naturalist Dave Sutherland on a reality-bending musical and scientific journey into the universe. Using a large telescope, we’ll loop back in time to watch stars dying and being born, spin with spiral galaxies at mind-numbing distances, and dance with the stardust that makes our lives possible. Plus, we'll sample a wide variety of classical music inspired by the stars and the night sky. This program is sponsored by Boulder County Audubon and the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra.
