Northwest Arkansas Youth Jazz All Stars Ensemble

Mon. Apr. 28 6:30 pm

Members of the jazz ensemble will perform with Steve Wilson, a New York City-based saxophonist, recording artist and jazz educator. Jazz Times calls him “the consummate saxophonist-composer” and “one of the finest alto and soprano saxophonists of our time.” Wilson has brought his distinctive sound to more than 175 recordings led by such celebrated and wide-ranging artists as Chick Corea, Christian McBride, George Duke, Michael Brecker, among many others.

21 students in eighth through twelfth grade representing 10 regional high schools have been rehearsing weekly, studying jazz techniques under the tutelage of musicians including Wilson as well as professionals from Kansas City and local band instructors.

The All-Star Program was created to inspire the region’s young musicians to experience the joys of America’s original music, jazz. Additionally, the curriculum serves to enhance the programs that are offered in local schools and provide peer-on-peer collaborations, jam sessions, concert performances and career opportunities in music.

“This is a unique opportunity for aspiring jazz musicians,” says Robert Ginsburg, artistic director of NAJS. “By studying with professional jazz artists, students can both grow musically and learn professional skills. Their annual performance at Walton Arts Center has been a highlight for jazz lovers, and a chance for concertgoers to witness the next generation of jazz musicians.”

NAJS funds the Jazz All-Stars program in part through individual contributions to the NAJS Jazz Education Fund. Interested individuals can also visit digjazz.com to learn more about the program and donate.

Support for the Jazz All-Stars project has been provided by the Northwest Arkansas Jazz Society, Thaden School and Walton Arts Center.

Singo - Musical Bingo

Thu. May. 1 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Singo is an entertaining musical spin on the traditional game of Bingo. Instead of listening for a number, players are listening to their favorite music.

How to play:
Each player receives a free Singo card printed with the titles of popular songs. While Singo randomly plays song clips of “the good parts”, players can sing along and mark matching song titles on their cards. (singing optional – but it’s tough not to!)

How to win:
The first player to mark five songs in a row and to shout “Singo” wins the round!

  • Singo automatically verifies the winner before moving on to double-bingo and blackout rounds.

This casual game is fun for a small group or a crowd! Enjoy our fresh food and drinks while you play… you may even win some prizes along the way!

Forest Bathing on the Mountain: A Journey Inward

Thu. May. 1 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Immerse Yourself in the Serenity of Nature

Discover the profound benefits of Shinrin-yoku, a Japanese practice known as forest bathing, right here on the tranquil grounds of Mount Sequoyah. Guide, Emmie Brenzel, will walk you through an inner exploration of connection to the land and the trees. She will invite you to slow down and connect deeply with the land, movement, and life around you.

What is Forest Bathing?

Shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, is a therapeutic technique that encourages you to surround yourself with the calming and healing qualities of trees. Originally prescribed in Japan to support well-being, this practice has been shown to:

Lower Blood Pressure and Stress Levels: Experience a natural reduction in tension and stress.
Alleviate Depression and Anxiety: Embrace a sense of calm and emotional balance.
Enhance Immune and Autonomic Function: Boost your body's natural defenses and overall health.
Improve Sleep: Enjoy better quality rest and relaxation.
Boost Mood, Creativity, Energy, and Concentration: Rejuvenate your mind and spirit for increased creativity and mental clarity.
What to Expect

Guided series of mindful activities designed to deepen your connection with the forest environment. You’ll engage in gentle movement, sensory experiences, and reflective practices that foster relaxation and self-awareness. At the close of the session, you will also engage in a Japanese ceremonial tea celebration.

What to Bring:
Comfortable clothing and shoes suited for walking
A blanket or mat for sitting / If you have it.
A water bottle if you desire.

Stephanie discovered her passion for the cello during elementary school, where she honed her talent through after-school string programs, private lessons, and youth orchestras.

Her early career saw her performing with several bands, but it was her founding of Auralai in 2013 that marked the start of her signature style. Initially a three-piece acoustic indie pop outfit, Auralai evolved in 2015 when Stephanie teamed up with multi-instrumentalist Nate Lehner, giving birth to a new chapter as a duo marked by innovative, cello-driven sounds. Together, they released two albums, each a testament to Auralai’s eclectic indie pop vibe. Stephanie continues to experiment and find her voice, with new singles slated for release in early 2025.

No slave to conventional songwriting or classical cello form, Auralai's unique brand of cello-pop brings a breath of fresh air to the contemporary music scene.

Liliana Hudgens "Grace" Album Release Tour w/ Wes Pearce + Malibu Moon

Fri. May. 2 8:00 pm

Join us at Club 509~

Asheville, North Carolina's Liliana Hudgens deals in raw and timeless emotion. Her soaring vocals and achingly candid songwriting bind the rooted weightlessness of gospel with the low-down heaviness of rock & roll. Her fresh take on Country-Folk revivalist sounds blend the sacred and profane, the holy, and the mundane. Liliana’s music feels eternally relatable, tapping into tradition to create work that is totally unique and completely her own.

Fresh off of her 2023 release "Last Line" Liliana wasted no time bringing her next original album "Grace" to all audiences on December 11th, 2025. The record was produced by the incredible John James Tourville, known for John R. Miller's "Heat Comes Down" and Riley Downing's "Start It Over" and as a member of The Deslondes.

Artist Trading Cards Workshop

Sat. May. 3 10:00 am - 3:00 pm

artist trading cards

Artist Trading Cards are one-of-a-kind pieces of artwork, the size of baseball cards, that get made and then traded with other artists. Trading cards are never sold. This workshop will be a fun introduction to working with mixed media and various ways to design and embellish your cards. The only official rules for ATCs is the size: 2.5" x 3.5" and that the cards are traded and never sold. At the end of the workshop, you will have the opportunity to trade any or all the cards you made.

How it all began....
In 1997, M. Vanci Stirnemann, a Swiss artist, created 1200 cards by hand as part of an exhibit. On the last day, he invited others to create their own cards and trade with him during the closing reception. The movement took off, and today, there are ATC swaps in almost every major city around the world. There are also many online swaps.

No art experience necessary. Project details will be emailed upon registration. This workshop has limited enrollment so early enrollment is recommended. (Ages 16 & up)

Community Roll Out & Camp Out

All day

Community event open to anyone and everyone!

50 Miles split into two days with about half unpaved vs paved surfaces. Options to add on singletrack miles at Lake Wedington and Twin Knobs!

IMPORTANT TO KNOW: This will be dispersed camping.

Dispersed camping - also known as free camping or boondocking, is a form of camping on public lands where you camp outside of designated campgrounds and without the amenities or services of a developed campground. It's essentially camping "wild" with no facilities like toilets, trash cans, or fire rings.

Need to know more about how to camp this way? Contact us in advance and we can share resources from Bikepacking Roots. We’ll also have some friendly experienced bikepackers around ready to lend a hand!

OGC is providing a few amenities to make dispersed camping life a little easier! Read below for more details and itinerary.

Day 1: 20 miles of pavement & gravel to dispersed camping near the Twin Knobs at Lake Wedington.

Tag on extra miles of singletrack in the area if you so please!

We’ll have a “Sunset Social Hour” on Lower Round Top with great views of the surrounding area. BYOB or goodies of choice.

An OGC tent at camp area includes:

Lots of extra water for everyone to refill and use for cooking

A trash container

A community 2-burner stove (bring your own pots/cookware/mug)

Complimentary Ruby Coffee and Long Drink

Day 2: 30 miles of pavement & gravel back to Smokehouse Cycles

10am community roll-out

Hit more singletrack in the morning if desired or free to leave earlier!

Exposed: A Ballet on the Trails

Sat. May. 3 7:30 pm

A World Premier by the NWA Ballet Theatre, this production will feature an original dance, and score as expressed through the images of local photographer Brent Umphlett and Emmy-winning composer Lendell Black.

This is a production that shouldn’t be missed. Umphlett describes Exposed as a journey, on which he “first had to leave comfort and safety, Expose any doubts and Expose himself to his own ardent passion. In essence, he Exposed himself to nature, to the elements to be unprotected. Subsequently, he Exposed himself to adventure and beauty. Nothing risked, nothing gained.”

Additionally, Umphlett said the production lives up to its name because “the camera Exposed these adventurous scenes in its memory, romantically thinking, the film was Exposed to this beauty, and all the associated stories and emotions were visually documented.”

And finally, the production name also stands for how “the audience will be Exposed to a creative and meaningful collaboration that will move and inspire them. Generally, life is richer when we Expose ourselves to new experiences, situations, and relationships; this is where curiosity is cultivated, and peace is rooted.”
