Utah Symphony Great American Road Trip 2017

NPCA, the Colorado Plateau Dark Sky Cooperative and the Consortium for Dark Sky Studies at the University of Utah are honored to partner with the Utah Symphony to merge the splendor of symphonic and chamber music with the wonder of the stars.

Included in the star parties will be constellation laser tours, telescope viewing and Junior Dark Sky Ranger activities.
