Exploring Boulder's Sunday Happenings: From Trails to Tunes, Art to Activism
Published 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Sunday, January eleventh.
Waking up along the Front Range, you can catch a live look at the Flatirons and Indian Peaks this morning on the Boulder Flatiron Cam, which is streaming that classic view over the CU campus from Louisville. It is a good way to gauge the skies before you head out on the trails or into town.
If you are lacing up, the Achilles Boulder running and walking group meets at 10 a.m. at the Bobolink trailhead for a friendly five to six mile run or walk. That is a great option if you are easing into the new year or looking for a supportive community on the paths.
On campus, CU Boulder is easing back into the semester with events at the Student Recreation Center, including a Kick Off at the Rec and welcome back activities at the climbing gym this afternoon. Over at the CU Museum of Natural History, the BioLounge is open from noon to four, a low key stop if you want to mix learning with a warm indoor break.
For the arts crowd, BMoCA’s MediaLive exhibition, Data Rich, Dirt Poor, is open today at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, examining how we value our environment, culture, and archives. Over at the Dairy Arts Center, there are multiple options throughout the day, from theater to screenings, including National Theatre Live’s presentation of The Fifth Step.
Classical music lovers have a big afternoon. At three, the world renowned Takacs Quartet continues its January series at Grusin Music Hall on the CU campus. Later at four, the Boulder Philharmonic presents Schumann and Franck at Macky Auditorium, featuring a Colorado native cellist performing alongside former teachers and family.
Families and opera fans might head to the Dairy Arts Center for Boulder Opera’s family series, The Elixir of Love, a one hour, kid friendly adaptation of Donizetti’s comic opera. And if you are more in the mood for film and discussion, there are dance film programs and other screenings at the Dairy through the afternoon.
Tonight downtown, the Boulder Theater hosts a free Bob Weir Vigil and Celebration of Life. Doors open at six, with music starting at seven, featuring Shakedown Street, members of Young and Dead, and more, offering a community space to share memories and music.
Sports wise, Buffs fans are still talking about last night’s heartbreaker at the CU Events Center. Colorado’s men’s basketball team stormed back from a 24 point deficit against fourteenth ranked Texas Tech, only to fall 73–71 after a last second three rimmed out. It is a reminder that Big 12 play in Boulder is going to be intense all winter.
Space watchers should know that federal forecasters are calling for moderate geomagnetic storm conditions today, thanks to a recent solar eruption. Around here that mainly means a slightly livelier sky for photographers and sky nerds, and it is another nudge to look up from time to time.
For book lovers, Barnes and Noble on Pearl is hosting an in store author event with Terry Mark later today, giving readers a chance to connect with a writer in an easygoing setting on the east side of town.
And for those engaged in civic life, Moms Demand Action has a Boulder members meeting scheduled late this afternoon, adding a dose of local organizing to your Sunday.
From trailheads to string quartets, from Flatiron views to vigil candles downtown, Boulder is offering a full spectrum of ways to spend your day.
This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
