In downtown New Orleans, the Audubon Butterfly Garden & Insectarium delights visitors with all manner of flying beauties like the Arched-Wing Cattleheart, the Monarch, the Blue Morpho and the Grecian Shoemaker!
During our locally-hosted program "Classical New Orleans" on FRIDAY, September 7, we will "give wing" to a full hour of lovely music based on -- and, inspired by -- butterflies !
