Bach, Bluegrass, and Bugs

In a stroke of great creativity (and, let’s face it, a move to bring in younger audiences), the SPCO is inviting families to come hear classical music with a slightly gross twist. This particular afternoon features songs inspired by the insect world: Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 2, Kenji Bunch’s “Arachnophobia,” Ervin Rouse’s “Orange Blossom Special,” and Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Flight of the Bumble Bee.” Musicians include Gary Bordner, Steven Copes, Julia Bogorad-Kogan, and Kathryn Greenbank; in the lobby: bug-themed crafts by Creative Kidstuff. 651-224-4222; www.thespco.org
