ROARchestra at the Zoo on July 5th & July 19th

The Louisville Zoo and the Louisville Orchestra are joining forces once again to bring back the ROARchestra, with two special concerts set for this summer. After last year’s sold-out success, this cherished family-friendly event returns for its second consecutive year inviting audiences to experience a wild symphony under the stars on Saturdays, July 5 and 19. The first concert on July 5 kicks off with Teddy Abrams conducting The Spirt of America featuring iconic works that reflect the heart and soul of American Culture. Music will include Copland’s vibrant El Salón México and Carlos Simon’s stirring The Block, a tribute to Black American life. Rounding out the evening will include John William’s themes for Jurassic Park and Star Wars.  All concluding with a thunderous finale of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture. Then on July 19, saddle up for a rousing western-themed musical journey, celebrating the spirt of the American frontier. Under the baton of beloved Roarchestra Maestro Bob Bernhardt, this high-energy program opens with John Williams’ Cowboys Overture, setting the stage for Copland’s iconic Dance Episodes from Rodeo, including the beloved Saturday Night Waltz and crowd-favorite Hoedown. Adding authentic country color, Suede Saddle brings vocal harmonies and traditional western instrumentation — including fiddle, accordion and upright bass — for a foot-stomping good time. The evening concludes with Rossini’s William Tell Overture. The Zoo grounds open at 7 p.m., allowing guests to explore the Zoo or get settled in the Oasis Field.

Save birds by choosing to go Lights Out this spring!

You might know that millions of birds migrate over Louisville every spring and fall. But did you also know that billions of migrating birds are hurt or killed each year in the U.S.—and it’s due to artificial light at night pulling them off course or causing them to fly into windows and buildings? 

With your help, Lights Out Louisville—a Louisville Audubon Society conservation initiative—aims to change that. 

The solution is simple, and anyone can be a part of it: 

—This April and May, between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., turn off non-essential lights—both indoors and outside—and close your blinds, shades, and curtains. 

—By reducing artificial nighttime light during the two biggest migration months in our area, we give migrating birds a better chance of surviving their long journeys. 

—With a few simple actions, you’ll help save birds—and save money on your electricity bill at the same time! 

Visit www.lightsoutlouisville.org to learn how going Lights Out is good for birds as well as people, and how you can be a part of the solution. 

The Louisville Audubon Society thanks you for making the choice to go Lights Out! 

Keep your dog leashed when walking in public!
