What does a building sound like? What does a sculpture hear?

Sightlines + Soundscapes invites visitors into an immersive encounter where sight and sound converge—not as accompaniment, but as dialogue. Join MSU College of Music students as they perform site-specific compositions shaped by the walls of the MSU Broad Art Museum.

Offered in collaboration with David Biedenbender, MSU associate professor of composition, and Anthony T. Marasco, MSU assistant professor of composition and technology, this semesterly series brings student composers into direct conversation with the museum’s architecture and exhibitions.

How Quiz Bang works:
Two 45-minute quizzes.
Three rounds each.
You choose the point value—bet big if you’re confident, play it safe if you’re not.
It all leads up to the FQ!! (Final Question!!) where teams can risk it all for the win.

Perfect for quick-thinking teams, trivia fanatics, and anyone who loves a little competition with their cocktails.

Grab your crew, claim a table, and let’s see who’s the smartest in Old Town. Dinner, drinks, prizes, and bragging rights await!

Doors at 5pm, game at 6pm. The kitchen and bar will be open for food and drinks.
