Sip and socialize at ReMix, a free and fun evening of drinks and trivia held live on Zoom! Join us at 7 for a beer tasting led by our friends at Confluence. You can order your four-pack sampler through their website and pick it up curbside on the day of the event.
After the tasting, grab your friends and join us for a fun and challenging round of music-themed trivia hosted by trivia mastermind Marnie Strate – no musical expertise required! Your teammates can join you in person or on Zoom – we’ll sort you into breakout rooms by teams. This event is virtual, which means you can recruit your trivia-loving friends and family to join us from anywhere in the world! Gather your brainiest bunch of friends and fight it out for first place.
The game will consist of several rounds of general trivia with a few music questions peppered throughout the evening. The winning team will take home a variety of prizes, including free streaming passes to the Des Moines Symphony for each team member!
This is a free event, but you must reserve your space ahead of time using this link –> https://dmsymphony.org/concerts…/remix-dance-rhythm-blues/
