This October, the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra presents Bewitching: Halloween Extravaganza, a thrilling concert featuring fun, spooky, and cinematic music perfect for the occasion. Finding inspiring and accessible entertainment for families around the holidays is more important than ever, especially during Halloween celebrations. It’s a chance to create magical memories while sharing the joy of creativity and imagination with the next generation.

Conducted by Gary Lewis, the performances will take place at Parsons Theatre in Northglenn on October 27 and Macky Auditorium in Boulder on October 30. Macky Auditorium attendees will also be treated to interactive pre-concert festivities with WOW! Children’s Museum, HB Woodsongs, and other local vendors.

Looking ahead to November, Boulder Phil will honor our solar system with a Masterworks performance celebrating the 150th an
niversary of Gustav Holst’s birth. Audiences will be treated to The Planets, Holst’s iconic symphonic suite that captures the grandeur and mystery of our cosmic neighbors. This concert will also feature the world premiere of Moons of the Giants, a composition by Colorado resident and CU alum John Heins. Inspired by the moons of Saturn, Jupiter, and Neptune, Heins’ work brings a fresh, modern perspective to this celestial exploration.
Pre-concert activities will include aerospace and educational displays. It will be an evening that transcends time, combining music, science, and community in a tribute to our universe. Visit Boulder Phil.org or call 303.449.1343 for
