SUMMARY:Snorkel the French Broad River’s Headwaters in Rosman\, NC
DESCRIPTION:Join MountainTrue staff and partners for a guided snorkeling experience on the French Broad River’s headwaters at Champion Park in Rosman\, NC. Come immerse yourself amongst the vibrant and diverse aquatic life calling the cold\, clear\, waters of the upper French Broad home. Our guides will be Luke Etchison – Western Region Aquatic Wildlife Diversity Coordinator with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission and Kevin Merrill – Owner & Biologist with Oxbow River Snorkeling. \nLuke and Kevin have intimate knowledge of the fish\, reptiles\, amphibians\, and invertebrates on this particular site and within Western North Carolina in general. You’ll learn about what you’re seeing\, the conservation and preservation efforts occurring to help protect these species and their habitats\, and other regional water quality and outdoor recreation projects happening throughout the watershed. \nMasks\, snorkels\, wetsuits\, and booties can be rented through our partnership with Mountains to Seas. If you rent equipment\, please make sure to complete ALL of the sizing fields for each ticketed guest to ensure we get the correct size for wetsuits and booties. \nDue to the sensitivity of the site and the capacity of our guides\, we will be limiting this adventure to two separate two-hour time slots with no more than ten people each. \nThe first tour starts at 10:00 AM and the second tour at 12:00 PM. \nPlease Note that snorkeling tours like this one are at the mercy of Mother Nature. High water velocity and poor visibility following a heavy rain event may create conditions unfavorable for this activity to continue as planned. If this occurs for our scheduled date\, we will unfortunately need to cancel and refund any expenses. \nRegister:\n**If the ticket type or timeslot that you need are not available please contact amy@mountaintrue.org for assistance or to be put on the waitlist.

Cyclists will share progress daily through their social media posts.\nWith your help via donations (small\, medium or large)\, together we will raise money to support the museum’s mission to honor veterans\, educate citizens\, and preserve our history. From June 25 to July 1\, Buford and Clarke will bike the parkway from the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia to Cherokee\, North Carolina.\nWe invite you to pledge 10 cents or more per mile traveled.

Examples: If you pledge $1.00 per mile you will receive a request to send your tax-deductible check to the museum for $469. Twenty-five cents per mile would equal $117.25\, etc. You decide—the sky’s the limit!\nOption 2: You may pledge a fixed amount not based on mileage.\nTo make a pledge\, email mjrobertson@comporium.net and state your:\n·      Full name\n·      Amount pledged:\n–	Per mile\, or\n–	Fixed amount\nYou will receive a request for payment after July 1.\nWe thank you for your generosity and your support of veterans!

SUMMARY:PERFORMANCE: Gordon Beeferman + Stephanie Griffin
DESCRIPTION:Performance: Gordon Beeferman (piano) and Stephanie Griffin (viola)\nThursday\, June 27\, 2024 at 7pm\nBlack Mountain College Museum + Arts Center {120 College Street}\nTICKETS – $15 General Admission / $10 BMCM+AC members + Students w/ID \nComposer/performers Gordon Beeferman (piano) and Stephanie Griffin (viola) present an eclectic program of contemporary solo and duo music that often blurs the boundaries between composed and improvised traditions and practices. \nThe program includes Tunnel Visions\, Beeferman’s sprawling four-movement duo written for Griffin. Jumping off from their shared work in Beeferman’s avant-jazz Other Life Forms quartet\, the piece is a harrowing and rhythmically rigorous journey through microtonal\, cinematic landscapes. The program also includes Morton Feldman’s The Viola in My Life (3). Feldman was instrumental in the development of indeterminacy in music\, a groundbreaking concept associated with the experimental New York School of composers\, including John Cage\, Christian Wolff\, Earle Brown\, and David Tudor. \nAbout Gordon Beeferman: \nComposer and pianist/organist Gordon Beeferman\, “a wide-eyed polymath who masterfully toes the lines of myriad genres” (Brooklyn Rail)\, has created and performed innovative opera\, chamber and orchestral music\, avant-jazz\, and numerous collaborations with choreographers\, writers\, and other artists in New York and internationally. His music has been performed by the ensembles such as New York City Opera\, Albany Symphony\, Momenta Quartet\, American Brass Quintet\, eighth blackbird\, California EAR Unit\, Collage\, and Talea Ensemble\, and remarkable soloists like sopranos Sharon Harms and Alice Teyssier\, bassoonist Peter Kolkay\, pianist Steve Beck\, and violinist/vocalist Eden MacAdam-Somer. \nGordon Beeferman – The Stardust Reunion Band with Everett Bradley\, Nicki Richards\, Keith Fluitt (Voices); Joel Harrison (Guitar and Voice); Gordon Beeferman (Piano); Chulo Gatewood (Bass); Tony Lewis (Drums); Andy Clausen (Trombones); Dave Smith (Trumpet); Ben Kono\, Stacey Dillard\, Lisa Parrot (Woodwinds) at Joel Harrison’s New Works – Roulette 01-26-23\nHis chamber opera The Rat Land\, written with librettist Charlotte Jackson\, was praised as “complex and daringly modern…gritty\, fidgety and intriguing” by The New York Times. Scenes from their second collaboration\, The Enchanted Organ: A Porn Opera have been performed to sold-out downtown theater and nightclub audiences. They are working on their third opera\, The Ninth Floor\, with support from the MAP Fund. \nA bandleader as well as composer\, Beeferman has led his own ensembles\, including the septet Music for an Imaginary Band\, the quartet Other Life Forms\, and a quintet of Hamburg-based musicians on tour in Germany. Current groups include his Organ Trio (with Kate Gentile\, drums\, and Anders Nilsson\, guitar)\, and Zero Gravity\, a poly-stylistic song project. Beeferman has performed with numerous improvisers\, ensembles\, singers\, and theatrical productions at venues from the Coney Island Museum to the Berlin Festspielhaus\, with a range of musicians including avant-garde vocal legend Shelley Hirsch\, playwright/performance artist Taylor Mac\, and the Philip Glass Ensemble. His ongoing collaborations include concerts with singer-songwriter Carol Lipnik\, and a new duet with dancer Susan Hefner. \nWell-regarded for his compositions\, Beeferman has received commissioning grants from the Fromm Foundation\, Concert Artists Guild\, and the BMI Foundation\, among others. He has been awarded residencies at the MacDowell Colony\, Yaddo\, the Copland House\, and Ucross\, and a New York Foundation for the Arts fellowship.
