🎶 From Sound to Color - An immersive classical music and painting workshop
🎨🎻 Think classical music is boring? This workshop might change your mind.
## 🎶 From Sound to Color - An immersive classical music and painting workshop
**A 2-Hour Immersive Listening & Painting Workshop**
What if classical music wasn’t about rules, but about **stories, emotions, colors, and imagination**?
This unique workshop invites you to experience classical music in a completely different way — through **guided listening, storytelling, and painting**. No musical or artistic background is needed.
Led by **Flor**, violinist, violist, and educator at **Pacson Music School**, this workshop blends music appreciation and visual creativity in a relaxed, playful environment.
***
### ✨ What we’ll explore
* How classical music tells stories without words
* How music evolved across **Baroque → Classical → Romantic** eras
* How different orchestra sections create distinct emotional “colors”
* How *you* personally perceive music — through sound and painting
***
### 🧠 How the workshop works
**Part 1 – Listening, Story & Painting (A Journey Through Eras)**
* Short introduction & warm-up
* Guided listening to selected pieces in **historical order**
* For each era:
* Group reflection: *What did you feel? Did you imagine a story?*
* 15 minutes of **intuitive painting** inspired by the music
**Musical eras explored:**
* **Baroque** – movement, contrast, ornamentation
* **Classical** – balance, clarity, structure
* **Romantic** – emotion, drama, personal expression
🕒 *Short break*
**Part 2 – Inside the Orchestra & Toward Modern Sound**
* Discover orchestra sections: **strings, woodwinds, brass**
* How each section contributes to color, texture, and intensity
* Final listening to a **larger orchestral work closer.**
* 15–20 minutes to bring everything together through painting
**Closing reflection**
* Group sharing
* How perception, imagination, and music connect
***
### 🎁 What you’ll walk away with
* A **new way of listening** to classical music
* Simple tools to understand orchestras without technical language
* A deeper emotional and imaginative connection to sound
* A **completed painting** inspired by music
* Fresh perspective on creativity and storytelling
***
### 🌟 About the facilitator
**Flor** is an internationally trained violinist and violist with a career spanning **Europe, North & South America, and the Middle East**.
She began violin at age three through the Suzuki Method and earned full scholarships to study music performance at the **University of Southern Mississippi** and the **Royal Conservatoire of Scotland**, graduating with honors.
Now based in Brussels, Flor performs internationally and teaches violin and viola at **Pacson Music School**. She is also a visual artist, having contributed artwork to festivals and album covers — making this workshop a natural fusion of her artistic worlds.
***
### 👥 Who this workshop is for
* Adults and teenagers **16+**
* Curious beginners & non-musicians
* Creatives and music lovers
* Anyone who thinks classical music “isn’t for them”

Intro to GitHub Copilot: Your AI Pair Programmer - Chris Steele
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus.
In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks.
Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool.
Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday.

Azure CBUS January: Learn Infrastructure-as-Code Through Minecraft
## Learn Infrastructure-as-Code (the FUN Way) — Through Minecraft 🎮☁️
**Joint Meetup: Azure CBUS × Columbus HashiCorp User Group × DevOps Columbus**
What if learning Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code didn’t feel like a whitepaper… but more like a game?
Join us for a joint Azure CBUS, Columbus HashiCorp User Group, and DevOps Columbus meetup where **Mark Tinderholt** \(Principal Architect\, Microsoft Azure \| HashiCorp Ambassador \| “The Azure Terraformer”\) shows how **Minecraft** can be used as a surprisingly powerful way to understand real-world Infrastructure-as-Code concepts.
In this session, Mark will demonstrate how Terraform and Azure can be used to provision, configure, and manage Minecraft servers—while teaching the same patterns you’d use for production cloud infrastructure.
### What we’ll cover
* Infrastructure-as-Code fundamentals using **Terraform**
* Provisioning real infrastructure on **Azure**
* Applying **IaC best practices** (immutability, repeatability, versioning)
* How playful environments like Minecraft make complex concepts *click*
* Why learning through experimentation beats click-ops every time
### Who should attend
* Developers, platform engineers, and cloud engineers
* Terraform users (new or experienced)
* Anyone curious about Infrastructure-as-Code but tired of boring examples
* Minecraft fans who want to see it used in a totally unexpected way
No prior Minecraft experience required—just curiosity and a willingness to learn infrastructure the fun way.
Come for the blocks, stay for the Terraform. 🧱➡️📐
