The annual Empty Bowls Banquet runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Kehr Ballroom at BU. Tickets are $10 for adults, free to children under 5, and $5 for students. Area restaurants donate gourmet soups, which are served in handcrafted bowls (by Deb and Dave Stabley) that you take with you. Proceeds benefit the Bloomsburg Food Cupboard.
The BU University-Community Orchestra will perform Holst's "The Planets" at 2:30 p.m. in Haas Center for the Arts. Admission is free and with a fair amount of musical drama and a 50-minute run-time, "The Planets" can be a family friendly show.
Bit of trivia: Prog-rock monsters King Crimson cribbed (adapted) Holst's "Mars" in a piece called "The Devil's Triangle" on their album In the Wake of Poseidon.
