In his NWS debut, Bain joins NWS Horn and String Fellows for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s delightful Quintet and quartets by Max Reger and Michael Tippett. Errollyn Wallen considers Horseplay one of her favorite works due to its vitality and contrast, writing that “it’s the perfect work to be performed by young people.” Franz Joseph Haydn’s string quartet legacy is solidified in the Op. 76 collection, his last complete set.

South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO) rings in 2022 with the old and the new! The esteemed orchestra, conducted by Sebrina María Alfonso, will perform the world premiere of local composer John D. Gottsch’s Princess Yurievskaya followed by Tchaikovsky’s Pathétique as part of its Masterworks III series. The concert will commence on January 20, at 7:30 p.m., at Temple Israel of Greater Miami.

The concert will begin with the premiere live performance of Princess Yurievskaya by SFSO composer-in-residence, John D. Gottsch. Princess Yurievskaya charts the passionate love of Catherine Dolgorukova and Tsar Alexander II — from their first meeting and eventual marriage to his assassination. This vivid narrative is full of exciting dances and torrid romance, irradiated with evocative orchestral solos.

In June 2020, Gottsch’s debut album – featuring Princess Yurievskaya and another SFSO premiere, Sunset, was released by Naxos Records, the world’s leading classical music label. The works, performed by Maestra Sebrina María Alfonso and South Florida Symphony Orchestra, were recorded at Nova Southeastern University’s Rose and Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center on March 10 -11, 2020, prior to the challenges and closures of the world health pandemic.

John D. Gottsch was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and moved to Florida with his family, shortly thereafter. He spent his youth in the lake country of the Sunshine State traveling extensively and observing natural habitats. These explorations of Florida gave him an enduring love for its beauty and wildlife. He has been a lifelong composer and a number of his compositions reflect his deep appreciation of the outdoors. SFSO also performed Gottsch’s Bagatelles for Violin & Piano as part of its Summer With the Symphony Series in June 2021. His piano suite, Homosassa, premiered in Palm Beach in 2020. His piano quintet, Maryland Hunt, premiered at the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Washington, D.C in 2018 and has been performed in Philadelphia, Vienna, Rotterdam and Baltimore. Gottsch, a full-time doctor, now splits his time between Baltimore and Key West.

The program concludes with a work that Tchaikovsky considered to be the best of all his creations. In the last few months of his life, Tchaikovsky composed his haunting Symphony No. 6 in B minor – which made its premiere just nine days before his death. He called it “The Passionate Symphony,” using the equivalent Russian word which the French then mistranslated into “Pathétique” (meaning “evoking pity”) after his death.

South Florida Symphony Orchestra, recently named Broward Center for the Performing Arts’ first Partner in the Arts for its affiliated $30 million renovated venue, The Parker, launched its 2021-22 season in spectacular style on November 17 with Berlioz’ spirited Roman Carnival Overture; Ravel’s vibrant orchestration of Mussorgsky’s musical art gallery, Pictures at an Exhibition; and a 100th birthday celebration in honor of Astor Piazzolla, featuring The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires (Las Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas) performed by violinist Siwoo Kim. The season continued in early December with performances of Handel’s glorious Messiah to full houses in Fort Lauderdale and Miami. The season runs through April 28, 2022.

General admission tickets are $36 for Masterworks III: Tchaikovsky & Gottsch at Temple Israel of Greater Miami (137 NE 19th Street). Tickets are on sale, now at southfloridasymphony.org/masterworksiii. Additional health and safety concert attendance protocols can be found on the site. Student tickets and group rates are also available by calling (954) 522-8445 or emailing info@southfloridasymphony.org.

South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO) rings in 2022 with the old and the new! The esteemed orchestra, conducted by Sebrina María Alfonso, will perform the world premiere of local composer John D. Gottsch’s Princess Yurievskaya followed by Tchaikovsky’s Pathétique as part of its Masterworks III series. The concert will commence on January 19, at 7:30 p.m., at The Parker in Fort Lauderdale.

The concert will begin with the world premiere live performance of Princess Yurievskaya by SFSO composer-in-residence, John D. Gottsch. Princess Yurievskaya charts the passionate love of Catherine Dolgorukova and Tsar Alexander II — from their first meeting and eventual marriage to his assassination. This vivid narrative is full of exciting dances and torrid romance, irradiated with evocative orchestral solos.

In June 2020, Gottsch’s debut album – featuring Princess Yurievskaya and another SFSO premiere, Sunset, was released by Naxos Records, the world’s leading classical music label. The works, performed by Maestra Sebrina María Alfonso and South Florida Symphony Orchestra, were recorded at Nova Southeastern University’s Rose and Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center on March 10 -11, 2020, prior to the challenges and closures of the world health pandemic.

John D. Gottsch was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and moved to Florida with his family, shortly thereafter. He spent his youth in the lake country of the Sunshine State traveling extensively and observing natural habitats. These explorations of Florida gave him an enduring love for its beauty and wildlife. He has been a lifelong composer and a number of his compositions reflect his deep appreciation of the outdoors. SFSO also performed Gottsch’s Bagatelles for Violin & Piano as part of its Summer With the Symphony Series in June 2021. His piano suite, Homosassa, premiered in Palm Beach in 2020. His piano quintet, Maryland Hunt, premiered at the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Washington, D.C in 2018 and has been performed in Philadelphia, Vienna, Rotterdam and Baltimore. Gottsch, a full-time doctor, now splits his time between Baltimore and Key West.

The program concludes with a work that Tchaikovsky considered to be the best of all his creations. In the last few months of his life, Tchaikovsky composed his haunting Symphony No. 6 in B minor – which made its premiere just nine days before his death. He called it “The Passionate Symphony,” using the equivalent Russian word which the French then mistranslated into “Pathétique” (meaning “evoking pity”) after his death.

South Florida Symphony Orchestra, recently named Broward Center for the Performing Arts’ first Partner in the Arts for its affiliated $30 million renovated venue, The Parker, launched its 2021-22 season in spectacular style on November 17 with Berlioz’ spirited Roman Carnival Overture; Ravel’s vibrant orchestration of Mussorgsky’s musical art gallery, Pictures at an Exhibition; and a 100th birthday celebration in honor of Astor Piazzolla, featuring The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires (Las Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas) performed by violinist Siwoo Kim. The season continued in early December with performances of Handel’s glorious Messiah to full houses in Fort Lauderdale and Miami. The season runs through April 28, 2022.

Tickets for Masterworks III: Tchaikovsky & Gottsch start at $15 for the January 19 concert at The Parker (707 NE 8th St, Fort Lauderdale). Tickets are on sale, now at southfloridasymphony.org/masterworksiii. Additional health and safety concert attendance protocols can be found on the site.

Tito Puente, Jr at Arts Garage This Weekend

Son of the legendary American salsa and Latin jazz musician Tito Puente, Tito Puente, Jr. has big shoes to fill. And boy does he! Tito Puente, Jr. returns for another night of exhilarating Latin rhythms that will get your feet moving. Always honoring his father’s legacy, Tito Puente, Jr. has also made a name for himself as one of the most exciting Latin musicians touring today. Puente, Jr. has performed in over 300 shows in a variety of venues across the country, from jazz festival stages to grand symphony halls.

PERFORMER BIO:

The comparison is inevitable. How could it be otherwise? Tito Puente Jr. carries his father with him – imprinted on his physical being and locked in his soul. It’s in his looks, his joy, and his music. Tito, Jr. is on a passionate mission. The younger Puente is determined to nurture the musical legacy left by his father. He refuses to let his father become a distant memory. “He was just too vibrant, too exciting. There was magic in the music my father made. It made people happy all over the world.” He has found captive audiences who echo his passion. Crowds lured to a venue by the father are returning to see the son — and to once again participate in the high voltage celebration that takes place on stage. Tito Puente, Jr. has become an audience favorite in casinos, performing arts centers, symphony halls and jazz festivals worldwide, performing more than 300 shows over the past 5 years.

His 2004 album, “In My Father’s Shoes” featured the classic Puente titles and was spun into a BET Jazz television special of the same name. He was seen in a tribute to his father’s music on NBC’s two hour special–“The Apollo at 70: A Hot Night in Harlem.” He has also appeared on the ABC soap opera hit “One Life to Live” in performance with his big band. Symphony appearances include Dallas, San Antonio, Colorado, South Bend, and upcoming performances with the Palm Desert Symphony and the National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Marvin Hamlisch. Tito, Jr.’s CD “Got Mambo?” is a mixture of the old and the new as he takes a musical departure into some powerful new music he can truly call his own.

“People who don’t know anything about Latin music know my father and people always, always smile when they say my father’s name,” he confides. “That is a very special gift I have been given.”

The City of Miami Beach on Sept 29th presented Tito, Jr. with the key to the city. Tito, Jr. lives in South Florida and has two children, Miranda and Antonio.

First-year Bassoon Fellow Eleni Katz presents a multimedia recital that takes the audience on a three-part journey through the natural elements: Water, Earth and Wind. The recital demonstrates the intertwinement of multiple art forms: double reed playing, voice, poetry and projection design. It will feature in performance Eleni and the Marea Duo, a chamber ensemble that seeks to explore the sounds, colors, textures, boundaries and capabilities of the bassoon, oboe and the human voice. Founded at the Yale School of Music during the summer of 2020 by Amelia Merriman (oboe) and Eleni Katz, the Marea Duo focuses on creating interactive performances, engaging audiences, expanding the boundaries of classical music, inspiring the next generation of double reed players and demonstrating the vocal approach to playing your instrument. The recital highlights living artists and will have three composers present for the recital.
Presented in the intimate Truist Pavilion (formerly SunTrust), Solo Spotlights feature one or two Fellows in recital programs they design.
Performances part of the Solo Spotlight series are NWS BLUE projects. Fellow-driven projects are sponsored in part by the Maxine and Stuart Frankel Foundation and NWS’s Fund for New Ventures.

Tri-Rail, South Florida’s premier commuter rail system, invites vocally inclined children ages 5 to 17 to audition for “South Florida’s Kids Got Talent,” a singing competition held as part of Tri-Rail’s “Rail Fun Day.” Young singers from Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties are encouraged to audition for the chance to compete in the judged event. Auditions will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, December 11, at Galleria Fort Lauderdale (2414 East Sunrise Boulevard).

The singing competition is open to solo or group singers who are South Florida residents. Each act will have a four-minute opportunity to perform at the auditions. Judges will select the acts that will compete in the final competition, which is scheduled for Saturday, February 19, during Tri-Rail’s 13th annual “Rail Fun Day.” This year’s competition winner will receive a $500 grand prize, a photo shoot with composite cards courtesy of Posche Models & Talent and a professional studio recording session with MikeSoperMusic.

In 2019, 10-year-old Carly Cantor of Wellington was crowned the winner of Tri-Rail’s “South Florida’s Kids Got Talent.” Cantor’s stage presence and performance of “Who’s Loving You” by the Jackson 5 won over the crowd and judges.

Over the past 10 years, Tri-Rail’s “Rail Fun Day” has welcomed more than 23,000 families. The event has become an annual tradition as a free afternoon of interactive games, arts and crafts, and entertainment while promoting the benefits of riding the commuter rail system.

Nestor Torres and special guests return to Arts Garage bearing Yuletide offerings in the form of Holiday Traditional songs from all over the world. A unique performance you will not want to miss! Join us December 10th and 11th, 2021 at 8:00PM!

PERFORMERS:
Nestor Torres: Flute, Band Lead
Jorge Sosa: Keyboards
Agustin Conti: Double Bass/Electric Bass
Rey Monroig: Drums

BIO:
Seventeen recordings as a soloist, 5 Latin Grammy nominations, one Grammy nomination and one Latin Grammy Award, collaborations with a diverse range of artists such as Gloria Estefan, Kenny Loggins, Dave Mathews, Herbie Hancock, Tito Puente, Paquito D’ Rivera and Arturo Sandoval, as well as performances with the Cleveland, Singapore, and New World Symphony Orchestras, are testament to Néstor Torres’ success and versatility.

Born in Puerto Rico, Mr. Torres moved to NYC in his teenage years where he studied at Mannes School of Music, and later at the New England Conservatory in Boston. While playing in Latin Orchestras there, he learned to improvise in a style of Cuban music called ‘Charanga’, which shaped and developed Torres’s melodic and danceable sound.

As a composer, his commissions include “Marta y Maria”, commissioned by St. Martha-Yamaha Concert Series; “Disarmament Suite”, by ICAP (International Committee of Artists for Peace), and “Successors”, commissioned by the Miami Children’s Chorus. The Center for the Study of Spirituality at Florida International University commissioned Torres to compose and perform the work “The Lotus Sutra of the Wonderful Law” on the occasion of the Dalai Lama’s lecture titled ‘Compassion – The Source of Happiness’. On 2010 Torres again performed for the Dalai Lama, this time his own composition “Saint Peter’s Prayer”, at Temple Emanu-El.

Hallelujah! the South Florida Symphony Orchestra’s (SFSO) will premiere its Miami performance of Handel’s glorious holiday tradition, Messiah on December 4, at 7:30 p.m., at Barry University! This beloved seasonal masterpiece features vocalists Neil Nelson, bass baritone (previously featured as the lead in South Florida Symphony’s 2019 production of Porgy and Bess); Martin Nusspaumer, tenor; Brittany Graham, soprano; Rehanna Thelwell, mezzo-soprano and the 100-member South Florida Symphony Chorus.

Smithsonian magazine writes, “A musical rite of the holiday season, the Baroque-era oratorio still awes listeners 250 years after the composer’s death.” Handel’s popular work, which draws from the Christian Lent and Easter stories, encompasses a musical narrative brilliance that transcends belief systems.”

South Florida Symphony Orchestra will perform Part I of Handel’s Messiah. The concert will open with an extraordinary “Behind the Music” story incorporating a reenactment of the dramatic struggle faced by composer George Fredric Handel as he toiled to complete this holiday masterpiece. Audiences will be enchanted by regally costumed actors narrating meaningful work passages that truly elevate the concert-going experience. The performance culminates with the iconic “Hallelujah” chorus as sung by the South Florida Symphony Chorus, made-up of seasoned chorale singers and community talent. The orchestra and chorus will be conducted by Dr. Giselle Elgarresta Rios at this performance. Rios and SFSO’s Music Director and Maestra Sebrina Maria Alfonso collaborated to create the South Florida Symphony Chorus in 2019, which made its debut at the Beethoven 250th celebration in February of 2020.

Tickets for Handel’s Messiah start at $15 for the December 4 concert at Barry University and can be purchased online at https://southfloridasymphony.org/messiah.

World AIDS Museum and Educational Center (WAM) and Galleria Fort Lauderdale will kick off World AIDS Day on December 1 with Rock the Ribbon, a public event designed to raise awareness and voices in unison for global health!

Rock The Ribbon will commence at 8:30 a.m. with a gathering of elected officials including City of Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis, fellow HIV-related agencies and other stakeholders. Special performances by the Fort Lauderdale Gay Men’s Chorus under the direction of Gary Keating, Camie Liz and DJ Aulden Brown will add flair to rock the crowd. The event will take place outdoors under the covered valet parking entrance. Attendees are encouraged to register in advance at WAM’s Rock The Ribbon page.

The public is also invited to view a portion of the AIDS Memorial Quilt which portrays powerful stories of activism, love, healing, hope and remembrance to connect the story of HIV/AIDS to the important issues impacting our nation, today. The quilt is on display through Dec. 10.

According to National AIDS Memorial, 40 years into the AIDS pandemic, more than 700,000 lives in the U.S. have been lost to AIDS and more than 1.1 million people live with HIV and an estimated 1 in 7 people do not know they have HIV. In the last figures reported in 2018, Black/African American gay and bisexual men account for the largest number of new HIV diagnoses.

The AIDS Memorial Quilt was conceived in November of 1985 by long-time San Francisco gay rights activist Cleve Jones. On October 11, 1987, the Quilt was displayed for the first time on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., during the National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights. It covered a space larger than a football field and included 1,920 panels. Today, the AIDS Memorial Quilt is an epic 54-ton tapestry that includes nearly 50,000 panels dedicated to more than 105,000 individuals. It is the premiere symbol of the AIDS pandemic, a living memorial to a generation lost to AIDS and an important HIV prevention education tool. With hundreds of thousands of people contributing their talents to making the memorial panels, and tens of thousands of volunteers to help display it, the Quilt is considered the largest community arts project in history.

The AIDS Memorial Quilt Display and World AIDS Day kickoff ceremony are sponsored by Galleria Fort Lauderdale, Our Fund, Fort Lauderdale Gay Men’s Chorus, Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward County Cultural Council, Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau and Florida Department of State, Division of Arts & Culture.

Shops at Merrick Park, Coral Gables’ pristine destination for fine shopping and dining, will present “Back to Tradition,” its 18th Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony, sponsored by Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, on Thursday, November 18, at 6 p.m. One of the largest tree lighting ceremonies and holiday celebrations in South Florida, the event will include the 50-foot tree-lighting and a live performance by South Florida’s own Preston Howell, a contestant on NBC’s The Voice. Attendees will also enjoy a variety of interactive activities, entertainment and a highly anticipated appearance by Santa Claus who will kick-off the festive season.

The retail destination will transform into a winter wonderland with a live performance by Miami’s Preston Howell of NBC’s The Voice who will serenade attendees with holiday favorites. Howell was one of just eight singers to turn four chairs during the blind auditions on The Voice Season 17. The teen accomplished the feat with a cover of “Dream a Little Dream of Me” by The Mamas and the Papas, landing a spot on Team John Legend.

The Miami Royal Ballet and Coral Gables Senior High School Gablettes will add to the festive spirit along with face painters, holiday costumed characters and a photo booth. Attendees are encouraged to spread the warmth of the season and bring unwrapped toys for children in care of Nicklaus Children’s Hospital.

One of the event highlights is Santa’s grand arrival down San Lorenzo Avenue on the Coral Gables Fire Department’s fire truck. Special guest host Belkys Nerey, award-winning co-anchor of WSVN Channel 7 News, will help flip the magical switch along with Coral Gables Mayor Vince Lago to illuminate the tree, signaling the official start of the holiday shopping season.

This year’s popular event will introduce a new majestic 50-foot tree with a six-foot-tall, illuminated star topper. The tree is adorned with LED custom colorful lighting, concert grade sound and a snow show. Shoppers can view and pose with the holiday tree through early January 2022.

South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO) welcomes audiences back to rediscover the thrill of live classical music!

South Florida Symphony’s 2021-22 season opens with “nine minutes of dashing music” by Berlioz, his overture to opera Benvenuto Cellini, called The Roman Carnival. Also on the bill is Ravel’s vibrant orchestration of Mussorgsky’s musical art gallery, Pictures at an Exhibition.

The Max Weinberg Quintet epitomizes the synergy of jazz instrumentalists bringing their best instincts and improvisations to the stage.

Rock And Roll Hall Of Famer Max Weinberg, most widely known for his nearly 47 year association with Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band and as the band leader of the shining Max Weinberg Seven on NBC’s Late Night and Tonight Show broadcasts, brings his power, dynamism, versatility, and chops to all of his various musical aggregations—his Quintet is no exception as Weinberg has traveled the U.S. and Europe with these fine musicians drawing rave reviews.

They delve deeply into the classic mid-60’s world of hard bop, as exemplified by such iconic musicians as Art Blakey, Dexter Gordon, Thelonious Monk, Chet Baker, Horace Silver, and others of the genre.

The quintet is composed of David Kikoski, himself the leader of the Grammy Award winning Charles Mingus Big Band and a revered pianist who established his reputation early in his career for his work with drumming legend Roy Haynes. Dave has also worked with Chick Corea, Michael and Randy Brecker, Al Foster, and film composer Christian McBride.
Saxophonist Brandon Wright maintains an incredibly active session career on the east and west coasts, has been a mainstay of the Doc Severinsen Orchestra, and has worked with Max Weinberg in varying capacities including his Quintet, his 23 piece society dance band, and the occasional appearance with Max and Bruce Springsteen.

Chuck Bergeron has been playing bass professionally for almost four decades and has performed, toured, or recorded in multiple musical styles on six continents.

Brian Lynch is a multi-Grammy winning jazz trumpeter. He has been a member of EddiePalmieri’s Afro-Caribbean Jazz group and has led the Latin Side of Miles project with trombonist Conrad Herwig.

But, synergy is what it’s all about—the musical conversation these players establish from the very first downbeat. Commanding soloists all, they’ll have audiences on their feet with their renditions of energetic hard bop classics.

Pinecrest Gardens is located at 11000 SW Red Rd. Tickets are $45-$50 at pinecrestgardens.org or 305-669-6990.

Los 3 de la Habana – GRATUITO

Domingo 26 de septiembre de 4 a 7 pm: Global Arts Project y Collins Park Neighborhood Association presentan un concierto GRATUITO en hermoso Collins Park, Collins Ave y 22 Street, Miami Beach.

Encabezado por el director Germán Pinelli y presentando los increíbles talentos vocales de los cantantes Ana Paez y Tirso Luis Paez, Los 3 de la Habana ha comenzado a funcionar, creando lo que a menudo se ha llamado “una experiencia musical cubana sexy nacida de raíces latinas” que es “Súper vibrante y llena de alegría musical”. Hay que reconocer que el grupo ha grabado seis álbumes y es responsable de éxitos llamativos como “No te Pases de la Raya”, “La Perdida”, “Luchando”, “Route 66”, “Santa is Coming to Town”, “Boy from New York City” y “One Way”, pero lo que hace que el sonido de Los 3 de la Habana sea tan único son sus características novedosas, algo fundamentalmente diferente de lo que tradicionalmente se transmite en la radio comercial moderna.

La popularidad de este acto orquestal increíblemente talentoso está superando incluso lo que sus propios miembros fundadores podrían haber imaginado, con los comentarios increíblemente positivos en el canal de YouTube de Los 3 de la Habana y la gran cantidad de actividad de descarga a través de Apple Music y Spotify. De hecho, esta es la encarnación consumada de la música cubana fusionada con el poder de las raíces latinas … y para los incansablemente trabajadores miembros de Los 3 de la Habana, esta incursión apenas está comenzando.

El programa también se transmitirá en vivo en las páginas de Facebook y YouTube de Global Arts Project.

Orchestra Miami presents Vivaldi’s Ring of Mystery, a theatrical concert about the life and music of Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi. Vivaldi’s Ring of Mystery is a compelling mystery about an orphan girl in the early 1700s who is in search of her roots. A central clue to the mystery is a missing Stradivarius violin that the Duke of Cremona has brought to Vivaldi’s school of the Pietá in the hopes of finding his long- lost grandchild.

Orchestra Miami, led by Artistic Director Elaine Rinaldi perform this intriguing tale which features more than 25 excerpts from Vivaldi’s most popular works, including the Four Seasons, the Violin Concerto in A minor, and the Guitar Concerto. The music is magically woven into the drama as two actors solve a mystery built around the historic context of the composer’s real life and his school of the Pietá. Vivaldi’s Ring of Mystery is “an imaginative way to introduce young audiences and their families to the life and music of Antonio Vivaldi in a live performance venue.”

This exciting concert and story performance is approximately 50 minutes; Recommended for age six and up. Juice & cookies served after the performance!
Tickets start at just $8 for kids, $12 for seniors (65 & up) & $15 for Adults. Family Packs (2 kids + 2 adults) are available for just $39.  This concert is the first of four in Orchestra Miami’s Family Fun Series at Pinecrest Gardens.

Sunday September 26 from 4-7 PM: Global Arts Project and the Collins Park Neighborhood Association present a FREE concert in beautiful Collins Park, Collins Ave and 22 Street, Miami Beach.

Headed by director Germán Pinelli and featuring the incredible vocal talents of singers Ana Paez and Tirso Luis Paez, Los 3 de la Habana has hit the musical ground running, creating what has often been called “a sexy Cuban music experience born from Latin roots” that’s “super-vibrant and full of musical joy.” To its credit, the group has recorded six albums and is responsible for ear-catching hits like “No te Pases de la Raya,” “La Perdida,” “Luchando,” “Route 66,” “Santa is Coming to Town,” “Boy from New York City” and “One Way,” but what makes Los 3 de la Habana’s sound so very unique is its novel characteristics – something fundamentally different from what is traditionally aired on modern commercial radio.

The popularity of this incredibly talented orchestral act is surpassing even what its own founding members could have imagined, what with the incredibly positive feedback on Los 3 de la Habana’s YouTube channel and the sheer amount of download activity via Apple Music and Spotify. Indeed, this is the consummate embodiment of Cuban music fused with the power of Latin roots…and for the relentlessly hard-working members of Los 3 de la Habana, this foray is only just beginning.

3:30 -5 DJ LEO will be spinning for Fitness by Fernando Salsa Lessons!!!! During the show we will feature Professional Salsa Dancers to add to the fun! Food vendors will be onsite! Come and enjoy the Bass Museum Family day! Free admission and childrens activities!!

The show will also be livestreamed on Global Arts Project’s Facebook and YouTube pages.

Flamenco, Latin rhythms and Western pop come together in the irresistible music of GIPSY KINGS, the Grammy Award-winning, chart-topping world music superstars.

For more than 30 years now, the GIPSY KINGS have captured the world’s imagination, ever since the release of their platinum-selling album in 1987, which included hits like “Djobi Djoba,” “Bamboléo,” and the romantic ballad, “Un Amor.” Since then, this party-starting ensemble has toured around the globe and sold 20 million albums worldwide. Their 2013 LP, Savor Flamenco, won that year’s Grammy Award for Best World Music Album.

Led by songwriter Nicolas Reyes (lead vocals), GIPSY KINGS is comprised of electrifying flamenco, salsa, and pop musicians from the south of France. Performing in their native language, Gitane (a mixture of Spanish, French, and Catalan), the GIPSY KINGS are credited with bringing Catalan rumba, a pop-oriented music derived from traditional flamenco, to new audiences around the world.

Every ticket purchase comes with one (1) digital download of The Gipsy Kings’ upcoming album. US residents only. One album download per ticket. On the album’s release date, you will receive instructions via email on how to redeem your album.

Due to his vast experience and professionalism, he relocated to Miami, Florida, home of the Latin beat.

This placed him at a very high level where he had the opportunity to perform in multiple genres such as Pop and Latin; he was also able to work with famous artists such as Marc Anthony, J-Lo, Shakira, Carlos Vives and many others. During these experiences, Dante has extracted the best and now leads a group of seven musicians, called “The Cat Band.”

The show will be at Collins Plaza, 2200 Liberty Ave., a new site just adjacent to Collins Park in Miami Beach.

Sometimes, inspiration is slow in coming, evasive, and stubborn. Other times, if an artist is very fortunate, it simply flows, the music practically writing itself. That’s how Solid, the latest release from Boney James came to be. “This record really flowed at an unusually quick pace,” Boney says. “There was a lot of positive energy in making this music. Solid is a very upbeat record. As I was writing them, these songs put a smile on my face.” Solid is the four-time Grammy-nominated saxophonist’s 17th album as a leader. Solid follows up his smash 2017 release Honestly, which became his 11th #1 Billboard Contemporary Jazz Album.

“My favorite singer….” Tony Bennett

Ever since he burst on the jazz scene in the latter part of the twentieth century, The Brooklyn-born, Harlem-based vocalist/guitarist/bandleader/composer Allan Harris has reigned supreme as the most accomplished and exceptional singer of his generation. Aptly described by the Miami Herald as an artist blessed with, “the warmth of Tony Bennett, the bite and rhythmic sense of Sinatra, and the sly elegance of Nat ‘King’ Cole,” the ample and aural evidence of Harris’ moving and magisterial artistry can be heard on his fourteen recordings as a leader; his far-flung and critically-acclaimed concerts around the world, from Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York, and Washington DC’s Kennedy Center, to the 2012 London Olympics, and many prestigious bookings in Europe, The Middle East and Asia. “I’m a storyteller through the genre of jazz.”

About Timbalive:

Timbalive is one of the largest and most successful groups of Timba in the United States and the world. The unique band sound, sophisticated production techniques, and a spectacular live show are second to none in the Latin Music scene. The band was created and burst onto South Florida’s music scene in August 2008, by Leo Garcia (timbales & director), offering the best of Cuban music with a mix of different rhythms from around the world. All the band’s members are highly trained musicians from the most prestigious music schools in Cuba and come from well-known groups from the Island.

Their first album, “From Miami a la Habana ” created one of the most unexpected successes in the Latin Music History in the United States. Through their vast discography, Cuban & Latin music hierarchy have shared studio sessions and stages with them. Such music giants names include: Amaury Gutierrez , Willy Chirino , Albita Rodriguez, Issac Delgado, Manolin (El Médico de la Salsa), Grupo Afrocuba, Carlos Manuel, Luis Enrique, Rey Ruiz, Marc Anthony, Celia Cruz, Pablo FG, Clave y Guaguanco, Oscar de Leon, Descemer Bueno, Mayito Rivera, Los 4, Pedrito Calvo, Roberton “Van Van” and Maykel Fonts among many others.

Timbalive has toured Europe, Mexico, Canada, South America, and multiple States in the US, making this band a reference for dancers and Timba lovers in several continents. Songs from their first album such as “El Dinero”, “Ave Maria Que – Calor”, and Como Miami No Hay Na” are still played by DJs in radio stations and night clubs worldwide, fulfilling Leo’s vision of having an international Timba band based in Miami.Twelve years later and five albums, this high-octane ten-member group kept enjoying great success among the Salsa circuit across Europe, South America, Cuba, and the U.S.

About Nic & N’Taya:

Nic & N’Taya is one of only a few bands that have managed successfully to produce a creative body of work in the extremely difficult Cuban Music environment of South Florida. Their last two critically acclaimed albums “#EstoEsUnMisil” y “Tu No Querias Changüí? Coje Changüí !” has been a testament that Timba y Changüí is alive and thriving in Miami.
Changüí is a style of Cuban music that originated in the early 19th century in the eastern region of Guantánamo Province, specifically Baracoa. It arose in the sugar cane refineries and in the rural communities populated by slaves. Changüí combines the structure and elements of Spain’s canción and the Spanish guitar with African rhythms and percussion instruments of Bantu origin. Changüí is considered a predecessor of son montuno (the ancestor of modern salsa), which has enjoyed tremendous popularity in Cuba throughout the 20th century. Timba is a Cuban genre of music based on popular Cuban music along with salsa, American funk/R&B, and the strong influence of Afro-Cuban folkloric music.

Timba rhythm sections differ from their salsa counterparts because timba emphasizes the bass drum, which is not used in salsa bands.
Here’s a sparkling high-voltage band lead by singer Nick “N’Taya ” Martinez who seems to have successfully channeled the spirit and drive of the Timba & Changüí genres to a new generation of Salsa dancers. N’Taya has created a thoroughly enjoyable sound that is perfectly suited for the dance club or your next Cuban or Latin party. Many Miami bands in the past have gotten our hopes up, only to break up. Hopefully, this one will stick around for a while. Stay tuned!

Pompano Beach Arts presents Karina Iglesias and the Nu-Thang

WHO: Karina Iglesias and the Nu-Thang

WHAT: A virtual concert

WHERE: from the Pompano Beach Cultural Center

WHEN: Saturday June 19, from 8 to 9:30 PM

WHY:In 2013, Karina was a contestant on NBC’s #1 Hit TV Show, The Voice. She made it to the Top 16 on the live shows. She was originally on Adam Levine’s team but was later stolen by Shakira after her epic performance of “Its a man’s, man’s, man’s world” which turned into a YouTube sensation. With her highly-focused artistic vision, rich cultural background and proclivity for harnessing a wide range of production techniques, Karina Iglesias brings forth a strong element of innovation and heralds a much-needed return to the authenticity of pure soul music.

Born and raised in Miami, Florida to Honduran parents, Karina Iglesias’ sound mirrors the diverse musical and cultural influences that have shaped her character and forged her individuality as an artist. With a style equally informed by rhythm and blues, boleros, gospel and hip-hop Karina delivers her performances with the intimacy of a deep soul crooner and the conviction and drive of a dauntless female singer/songwriter.

A veteran of the Miami live music scene, Karina began writing songs during the time she started working extensively with local bands. It soon became apparent that through composing original material, her true artistic identity had emerged. Her emotionally charged and deeply personal lyrics now revealed a depth of character and vulnerability that can only be conveyed when a singer truly connects with their song. Hosted by Tamara G of WLYF 101.5

TICKETS: Available for $15 at http://pompanobeacharts.org/programs/music-series
Note: Tickets are valid for the following two weeks.
The final three concerts in the series are available for $37.50

Three dynamic, powerful performers — singers, musicians, and songwriters Yusa, Inez Barlatier, and Keba— headline the concert Women of the Caribbean, a musical celebration staged outdoors, in the Koubek’s Gardens, marking the re-opening of the Koubek for limited-capacity audiences following COVID-19 guidelines.

Yusa is a Cuban multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, lyricist, arranger, and composer powerhouse. Her work suggests a deep knowledge of Cuban musical traditions such as son and trova, but updated with elements of jazz, pop, and R&B. A classical guitarist by training, Yusa specialized early on in the tres, a small six-string guitar-like instrument that is the defining sound of Cuban son, and later incorporated in her music electric bass, keyboard and percussion instruments.

The sound of Trinidad-born singer and songwriter Keba is a lived-in blend of classic soul, R&B, and pop, she mentions artists such as Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin as references, mixed with her own rhythmic sense. She has described her lyrics as a mix of “raw vulnerability with a playful exploration of love, femininity and identity as a first-generation immigrant and millennial”.

Miami’s own Haitian-American Inez Barlatier is a multi-disciplinary artist and educator. Accompanying herself on guitar, her rich, expressive voice, storytelling lyrics, and on-stage presence evokes the work of folk music-based artists such as Tracy Chapman and Joan Armatrading.

To ensure the health and safety of all guests and staff in attendance, guests must purchase tickets in advance, and be ready to present their E-ticket on their mobile device at the door, for a contactless experience. All attendees are required to adhere to social distancing guidelines (6 ft.) and wear the appropriate facial coverings correctly throughout the event, except when eating or drinking.

On Friday, April 30 at 7:00 p.m., the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami (MOCA) presents Lando & The Infinite Sadness as part of its monthly “Virtual Jazz at MOCA” series. Lando & The Infinite Sadness melds jazz, down tempo beats, and soul together for a beautiful listening experience. “The musical conception of Josue Vargas and Ben Stocker, Lando & The Infinite Sadness was born bouncing ideas over emails between Pembroke Pines, Florida, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. With aspirations of writing soundtracks in film and working with admired artists, Vargas and Stocker have created an alternate world of their own of gloomy polyphonic dissonance later accompanied by avant-garde moments of vividly colored peace.” J. Bobman, Artist Bio (2020)

Since the onset of COVID-19, MOCA suspended the Jazz at MOCA concert series due to health protocols. With the goal of ensuring the continuity of Jazz at MOCA, the museum will launch the program virtually, in partnership with WDNA Radio—South Florida’s premier jazz radio station. Hosted by WDNA’s Carter Jackson-Brown, the virtual series will feature the best of South Florida’s young and innovative musicians. The concert will take place virtually on the last Friday of every month at 7:00 p.m.

David Kikoski has had a long career as one of the New York area’s swingingest pianists. His band features NY all-stars with renowned tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander, bassist Joe Martin and the incomparable drummer, Billy Hart. The online-only concert is April 17 @ 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm EDT, South Florida JAZZ on ViewStub. The $15 ticket also includes 360 days of extended access to re-watch the concert in case you miss the premier. Link: https://viewstub.com/David-Kikoski-Quartet-feat-Eric-Alexander

While Kikoski can frequently get into that hard-core beast-like state of effervescent, muscular swing, he can also play with great beauty, sensitivity and lyricism, especially on ballads and when accompanying vocalists. Tonight, along with preferred rhythm section mates Joe Martin on bass and the splendid, venerable drummer, Billy Hart, is tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander, who has been a South Florida JAZZ favorite for several years, now making his fourth appearance. Alexander is one of the most respected and also prolific artists on the jazz scene.
