SUMMARY:Ladies Rock Camp Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Ladies Rock Camp is an intensive weekend program put on by Girls Rock Birmingham for female-identifying and non-binary folks 18 years of age and older that is redefining the term “lady” by creating an environment that is the antithesis of what we have been told it means to behave as one. Programming for Ladies Rock is similar to what girls do during our summer program: learn an instrument\, form a band\, write a song\, and perform your song live – in just a weekend! You’re invited to cheer on the bands of Ladies Rock Camp at our showcase March 1 at Saturn! You’ll hear the results of the hard work these women put into learning\, writing\, and honing their new craft as ROCKSTARS. Some very special guests will also be joining us. We want a HUGE turnout for these awesome folks so plan to be there!\nTickets are $10 and are available now through Saturn Birmingham. All proceeds go to help Girls Rock Birmingham bring empowering events to young girls. Kids under 18 are admitted FREE.

SUMMARY:DOR: A Romanian Festival
DESCRIPTION:DOR: A Romanian Festival\, 2nd Edition\n“Confluence: Where Romania Meets the World”\nSunday\, September 14\, 2025\, 4:00 to 10:00 PM\nThe Episcopal Church of St. Francis of Assisi\n3545 Cahaba Valley Road\, Indian Springs\, AL 35124 \nMusic4Romania (www.music4romania.org) cordially invites everyone from the Birmingham community\nand beyond to come out to experience the vibrant sights\, sounds\, and tastes of Romania at the 2nd\nedition of DOR: A Romanian Festival to be held at The Episcopal Church of St. Francis of Assisi\n(www.saintfrancisindiansprings.org) on Sunday\, September 14\, from 4:00 to 10:00 PM! Everyone is\ninvited and welcome! \nEntitled “Confluence: Where Romania Meets the World\,” this year’s festival aims to celebrate\nRomanian culture as part of humanity’s vast cultural organism\, where every tradition both receives and\ngives. Romania stands as Europe’s great cultural crossroads\, and many international influences have\nwoven themselves into a distinctive national identity. From the painted monasteries of\nMoldova—whose vibrant frescoes blend Byzantine spirituality with local traditions—to the Romanian\nlanguage\, a Romance island surrounded by Slavic and Hungarian seas\, Romania embodies cultural\nsynthesis. Shaped by Roman\, Byzantine\, Ottoman\, and Austro-Hungarian influences\, the country has\nabsorbed and transformed each while maintaining its unique character. Every folk melody echoes with\nHungarian harmonies\, every wooden gate bears Ottoman geometry\, every dish tells migration stories –\nTurkish-inspired mici\, Austrian schnitzel becoming șniţel\, Greek moussaka transformed into musaca.\nLanguage weaves threads—Romanian “cafea” from Turkish “kahve” from Arabic “qahwa”—connecting\nBucharest to Istanbul to Ethiopia. The painted churches of Voroneț and Moldovița showcase artistic\ntechniques that traveled from Constantinople\, while monastery walls inspired Viennese Art Nouveau. \nThrough interactive activities including a fun Romania 101 country presentation\, a Romanian language\nsession\, traditional music\, dancing\, literary readings\, children’s activities\, workshops\, art exhibits\, an\naward-winning Romanian movie\, and a seated dinner (offered at a charge of $25/person\, children under\n12 free)\, the festival hopes not only to celebrate Romania’s dynamic cultural heritage but also to actively\nand purposely promote and encourage cross-cultural understanding and dialogue. \nFor more info and to RSVP for the seated dinner\, please email Dr. Alina Voicu at\navoicu1970@gmail.com or text at (205)807-5814. Dinner payments (of $25.00 person\, children under\n12 free) must be received by September 7\, check made payable to Music4Romania – please mail to Dr.\nAlina Voicu\, The Episcopal Church of St. Francis of Assisi\, 3545 Cahaba Valley Road\, Indian Springs\, AL\n35124. \nFESTIVAL PROGRAM\n4:00– 4:45 PM – Romanian Mosaic: International Threads\nLearn interesting facts about Romania’s history and traditions in a presentation that will highlight the\ncountry’s culture as a meeting point of different international influences.

SUMMARY:The Drifters & Cornell Gunter’s Coasters
DESCRIPTION:It’s not a concert…it’s a party! Spend a nostalgic evening saluting two of the world’s most beloved musical groups who were instrumental in creating the Rock & Roll/Doo Wop sound:  \nCornell Gunter’s Coasters: Known for hits like “Charlie Brown\,” “Yakety Yak\,” and “Poison Ivy\,” this group brings a comedic flair to their performances that will have you reminiscing about the golden age of Rock & Roll.  \nThe Drifters: One of Rock & Roll’s founding vocal groups\, The Drifters are touring the U.S. again under the auspices of their original management team. With a 50-year catalog of hits such as “Under the Boardwalk\,” “Up on the Roof\,” “This Magic Moment\,” and “On Broadway\,” they deliver a timeless sound that continues to resonate with audiences.  \nCombined\, these two Rock & Roll Hall of Fame groups have been associated with well over forty of the top classic songs in Rock & Roll history. From “Under the Boardwalk” to “Yakety Yak\,” very few artists can boast a richer musical resume. With such incredible musical diversity—from the comedy of Cornell Gunter’s Coasters to the Motown magic of The Drifters—this show has songs to please every palate\, delivered just the way you remember them when you first heard them on the radio.
