Get ready for a musical performance like no other! The Singing Zoologist’s high-energy, interactive concert will have kids and parents alike singing, laughing, and learning about the wonders of the animal kingdom. From cheetahs to monarch butterflies, his lively songs bring science to life in the most entertaining way possible. Don’t miss this chance to experience a one-of-a-kind show that blends education, music, and fun into an unforgettable multimedia event!

Why should your family come to see The Singing Zoologist? Science teaches kids to ask questions, experiment, and explore, while music fosters creative expression and problem-solving. Combining the two helps children think outside the box and approach challenges with both logic and imagination. Many scientific concepts can feel abstract, but when paired with music, they become interactive and relatable. By showing that science isn’t just in textbooks and music isn’t just in concerts, kids see the connections between creativity and discovery. This can inspire future musicians, scientists, and innovators who embrace both logic and artistry in their pursuits.

Artist Bio:  Lucas Miller, better known as the “singing zoologist,” has been literally singing the praises of wildlife since graduating with a degree in zoology. His zany humor, smart songwriting and unbridled passion for science inspire his fans, young and old, to respect and protect the natural world.

Lucas has reached millions through his legendary school programs and many more through his YouTube channel, “Science Up with the Singing Zoologist.” His recordings have won awards galore and he was named an “American Masterpiece” artist by the National Endowment for the Arts, but it’s really the notes from generations of fans that are his highest honor.
