Singo - Musical Bingo

Thu. May. 15 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!

American Portraits Concert Tour

Thu. May. 15 7:00 pm

Two world-class musicians will bring their cross-country concert tour American Portraits to Fayetteville this month for a free public performance.

Pianist Jonathan Levin and tenor Tyrone Chambers will perform at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 15, at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 224 N. East Ave.

The concert blends classical music, jazz, traditional folk songs, spirituals, and original compositions to explore themes of unity, resilience, and national pride, according to a news release. It’s part of a broader tour aimed at connecting with audiences in both traditional and non-traditional venues across the country — including churches, community centers and underserved areas.

The duo’s 2025 tour, which spans from North Carolina to California, is also being filmed as part of a planned documentary series showcasing the American cultural and physical landscape through music and storytelling.

Levin, a North Carolina native, debuted at Carnegie Hall in 2016 and has received national honors for piano performance. Chambers, from New Orleans, is a founding tenor of Opera Creole and has performed opera and oratorio roles internationally.

Artosphere: Dover Quartet with Edgar Meyer

Sat. May. 17 8:00 pm

Inspired by and presented as part of our annual Artosphere Festival, the returning favorite Grammy®-nominated Dover Quartet will present an evening of exquisite chamber music. Named one of the greatest string quartets of this century by the BBC, the ensemble will perform alongside the Grammy®-nominated American composer and bassist Edgar Meyer.

In demand as both a performer and a composer, Meyer has formed a role in the music world unlike any other. Hailed by The New Yorker as “the most remarkable virtuoso in the relatively un-chronicled history of his instrument,” his unparalleled technique and musicianship, in combination with his gift for composition, have brought him to the fore, where he is appreciated by a vast, varied audience.
