Please join the department of Physics and Astronomy for a unique event on Saturday, Dec. 18, at 7 p.m. at the Drake Municipal Observatory that combines classical guitar music and astronomy. The event, which is free and open to the public, will consist of a classical guitar concert by members of the Heart of Iowa Classical Guitar Society (HICGS) and a tour of the historical Observatory. Classical and contemporary works for guitar will be performed. We are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Drake Municipal Observatory opening and the 10th anniversary of the HICGS foundation. Everyone is welcome to join in an evening of music and science. The Drake Municipal Observatory is located at 4898 Observatory Road in Des Moines.
