I LOVE THE MERLIN APP!!!! What a slippery slope it's been! I saw a bird one day and couldn't figure out what it was and after much googling I downloaded the app so I'd be prepared next time I saw a cool bird. I've learned so much over the last two years with it, and it's really cool to use while traveling! It's only a matter of time before I become a full on birder.

Someone asked that question on the Facebook event and this is the response: " I'm happy to confirm that we do have trade tables available, which provide a wonderful opportunity for you to share and exchange pest and disease-free houseplants and cuttings with other enthusiasts. In addition to the trade tables, you'll also have the chance to browse an array of plants and items for sale from various hobbyists and growers who will be present at the event. What's truly special about this event is the chance to engage with other like-minded individuals, who are passionate about plant care and cultivation, and gain firsthand insights from their personal experiences. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced hobbyist, there is something for everyone at this event. So, I hope to see you there!"

Sun / The Fall of Richmond @ Gallery 5 / 7p / Free

Join Classical Revolution's 2022 Featured composer, Curt Sydnor, for the public premiere of the chamber symphony, The Fall of Richmond.

The Fall of Richmond evokes the turmoil and exultation which overtook Richmond on April 2-4,1865 as Confederate forces burned and abandoned the city. Composed in Richmond during the protests of 2020, the work is an ode to the US Colored Troops regiment which led the march into Richmond, to President Lincoln’s famous visit the following day, and to the concurrent liberation of Richmond’s enslaved population.

Gallery 5’s stage backdrop and historic walls will be illuminated with projections of Richmond’s ruins (as photographed by Matthew Brady and others) to create an immersive musical-historical environment. Conductor Naima Burrs will lead the nine-piece ensemble comprised of Richmond’s finest classical musicians, including members of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra. The program will also include premiers of Sydnor’s Chaconne for violin, bass, and piano and a song setting for chamber ensemble featuring Laura Ann Singh.

For Virginia music lovers, this one-time event is not to be missed.

The event is FREE and open to all ages! Donations encouraged.

Doors open at 6:40, music starts at 7:00pm.

We hope to see you there!
