SUMMARY:Deep Listening Club | Sam King
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Deep Listening Club at Crystal Bridges. This month\, we’re featuring Sam King! \nExperience the Skyspace in a new way. Once a month\, gather to sit together and experience a live ambient music performance timed to the Skyspace light sequence. The event takes place near the full moon\, equinox\, or solstice so the changing natural light becomes part of the experience. \nDuring the program\, a featured musician or sound artist performs an hour-long set of calming\, immersive sound. As the sun sets\, the Skyspace light show gradually shifts overhead\, blending sound and light into a shared\, meditative experience designed for relaxation\, mindfulness\, and reflection. \nThis event is free\, no tickets required. \nAbout Deep Listening Club\nEach session features a different artist curated in partnership with KOBV Radio. \nStart times change throughout the year to match sunset. The performance begins 30 minutes before sunset and lasts approximately one hour. Seating inside the Skyspace is limited\, and guests should plan to arrive early to secure a seat.

SUMMARY:NWACC: Who Wrote the Mozart Requiem? Music and Stories of the Last Days of Amadeus
DESCRIPTION:These days\, nearly everyone—even non-musicians—recognizes “The Mozart Requiem\,” partly thanks to the film “Amadeus.” But few realize that Mozart only completed a small portion of the work. In fact\, most don’t know that the piece was commissioned from Mozart by Count Franz von Walsegg\, an amateur composer who wanted to claim it as his own. The arrangement was all hush-hush and well-paid\, which suited Mozart during a difficult financial time. \nWhen Mozart died\, the Requiem was far from finished—of the fifteen required movements\, only the opening was complete\, though drafts existed for the rest. Mozart’s wife\, Constanze\, was suddenly faced with debts and the pressure to deliver the commission in full. With no way to return the advance\, she turned to Mozart’s friends and students\, asking them to complete the work so the family could fulfill their obligations and collect the remaining commission. \nIt’s a fascinating chapter in music history—one that’s rarely told and is still shrouded in mystery centuries later. Our approach will bring this story to life through narration\, visuals\, and performance\, featuring the NWACC Chamber Singers\, faculty\, and guest artists from across NWA. Experience choral works\, string quartets\, and soloists\, all woven into the storytelling. \nTickets are $20 ($18 for members)\, $10 for students. Reserve your spot online or with Guest Experience at (479) 657-2335 today.
