SUMMARY:24th Annual LaVona Rushton Concert
DESCRIPTION:The LaVona Rushton Concert Series is a prestigious celebration of classical music. Each year\, this program showcases world-renowned pianists\, hand-picked in collaboration with the Cliburn\, an organization dedicated to advancing classical music in competitions\, concerts\, and education. This year\, the BMA is delighted to present Vitaly Starikov. \nAbout the Performer \nRussian/Israeli pianist Vitaly Starikov has found distinction with “raw\, deeply felt\, and powerful” (La Scena) performances\, while having an unassuming onstage presence and a “willingness less to play at the audience than to draw [them] into musical intimacies” (Dallas Morning News). His bold approach won him silver at the 2025 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition and the admiration of fans around the globe. Vitaly’s perspective on music is manifested in his repertoire: he presents music that reflects not only tradition\, but also contemporary life\, striving to offer new perspectives on familiar music and introduce lesser-known pieces to wider audiences. His Cliburn performance of Bartok’s Second Piano Concerto electrified the room\, with a La Scena reviewer noting that “he understood this music\, and gave an impactful\, lively\, and gripping interpretation on all levels: emotionally\, architecturally\, and in terms of his sound palette.” This inaugural Cliburn season takes him to the Bravo! Vail and Sunriver Music Festivals; Colorado Springs Philharmonic\, and Pacific\, Topeka\, and Springfield Symphony Orchestras\, and in recitals throughout the United States. Mr. Starikov appears by arrangement with the Cliburn. \nWe invite you to join us prior to the concert at 6:30pm for a coffee service and light refreshments.  \nThe Rushton Concert is generously sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. William J. Rushton III. \n\n\n\n\n                  This event has passed\n              \n \n\nFree \n                    Unavailable

SUMMARY:Overnight Guided Canoe Trip: Heiberger to Sprott – October 18th and 19th
DESCRIPTION:When: Saturday\, October 18th at 8AM until Sunday\, October 19th at 3PM\nWhere to meet: Amped Fitness at the Colonnade\, 3427 Colonnade Pkwy\, Birmingham\, AL 35243\nDay of event contact: Wil Rainer\, Mobile: (901) 210-7850\nCost: $40 per person\nAvailability: Space is limited.\nYou will need: At least 1 liter of water\, sun protection\, close-toed water shoes you don’t mind getting wet. See below for more info.\nWe will provide: Boats (contact recreation@cahabariversociety.org to inquire about using your own boat)\, paddles\, and life jackets.\nRegistration: Click here!\n\nDescription\nThis 12-mile guided canoe trip covers a stretch of the river as scenic and remote as any of Alabama’s wilderness areas. The riparian forest is beautiful and home to some spectacular wildlife. \nThe Cahaba River changes south of Centreville as it enters the Coastal Plain. As these waters receded\, they left behind sandy soils that were prone to erosion. The edge of this 65 million-year-old sea is called the “Fall Line” in Alabama. It is the boundary between the harder rocks of the Appalachian Highlands and the softer soils of the Coastal Plain. As the Cahaba River reaches these soft soils in the Coastal Plain\, it stretches out and meanders across the landscape\, creating one of the most beautiful stretches on the river. \nWe will camp on Barton’s Beach\, a large sandy beach in Perry County owned by The Nature Conservancy of Alabama. We will have the option for an easy night or morning hike into Perry Lakes Park\, a keystone stop on the Alabama Birding Trail. \nWhat to Expect\nWe will meet on Saturday\, October 18th at 8:15AM at Amped Fitness (3427 Colonnade Pkwy\, Birmingham\, AL 35243) at the Colonnade in Birmingham to caravan to the launch site. We will depart for Heiberger at 8:30 sharp. Join us if you can\, but you may also choose to travel to Perry County on your own. Please let us know your travel plans at recreation@cahabariversociety.org. \nBefore we begin our paddle\, we will set a shuttle to ensure that as many cars as possible are at the take out. That way\, you can begin your drive home as soon as we’re off the water. Trip leaders will provide more guidance for this process on the day of the trip. \nThere is plenty of room for tents at Barton’s Beach\, but hammock sites are very limited. Bring some good walking shoes for the hike. Participants are responsible for providing their own camping gear\, water supply\, and meal prep. Meal plans are available through CRS for an additional donation. This includes lunch and dinner for Saturday and breakfast for Sunday. We are generally off the water by lunchtime on Sunday\, though you might want to bring a snack. \nWhen we finish our journey\, we will pack up our gear\, and everyone with a car at the takeout is welcome to head home. \nGuided canoe trips are weather and water-dependent. If there are changes or cancellations\, Wil Rainer will contact each guest and let you know the plan. \nWhat to Bring\nCahaba River Society provides canoes\, paddles\, and personal flotation devices. Participants are responsible for everything else. \n\nWater (at least 5 liters)\nCamping gear (e.g.\, tent\, sleeping bag\, etc.)\nWil Rainer will communicate about camping gear.\nAll Meals: Saturday lunch\, Saturday dinner\, Sunday breakfast\, Sunday snack/light lunch\nSunscreen\nSun hat\nClose-toed water shoes. This site shows some of the shoes our team might be wearing.\nWalking shoes for an optional easy hike\nPhotography equipment (don’t forget we will be on the water)\n\n  \nRegister here!
