Rhythm & Muse

The Guild will again host a grand gala on Saturday, February 4, at The Country Club of Birmingham, to raise funds for our prestigious music scholarship program and to support the Birmingham Music Club concert series.

Following the success of last year’s event, this year’s gala, Rhythm & Muse, will truly be a collaboration of the arts, with well-known muses of the community – painters, sculptors, and floral designers – creating spectacular works around a musical theme for the gala. These one-of-a-kind creations will be auctioned that evening along with fabulous trips, jewelry, wine collection, dinners, and more!

Check out some of the items that will be in the auction:
