NOIZE MC. NORTH AMERICAN TOUR 2026

Noize MC is one of the most outspoken anti-Putin, anti-war Russian artists in exile — a musician whose work sits at the crossroads of rap, rock, and sharp political commentary. Over the past 15 years, he has become a defining voice for a generation, known for his fearless freestyling, genre-blending sound, and uncompromising civic stance. He was named to Forbes’ “50 Stars” list in 2010 and 2019 and received MTV Europe Music Awards nominations for Best Russian Artist in both years.

In 2019, Noize MC released “Just Like Everyone Else,” a scathing critique of contemporary Russia that went viral, amassing more than 36 million views on his official YouTube channel. His 2025 album Not All There marked a major turning point in his career and is widely regarded as one of the most important releases in recent Russian-language music.

After publicly condemning Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 — following more than a decade of protest activity against Vladimir Putin’s regime — Noize MC left Russia and settled in Lithuania. Together with fellow artist Monetochka, he launched Voices of Peace, a series of benefit concerts that raised over €400,000 for Ukrainian civilians. In December 2024, Noize MC and Monetochka were nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Cost: Tickets start at $35 (plus fees)

South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO) continues its 28th spirited Masterworks season of “Juxtapositions” with a new sparkling evening of music led by SFSO’s award-winning music director Sebrina María Alfonso. On Thursday, January 22, at New World Center in Miami Beach (500 17th Street), rhythmic drive meets lyrical beauty in an exhilarating program brimming with wit and brilliance, anchored by the sweeping power of Sibelius’ Symphony No. 2. SFSO fan-favorite Svetlana Smolina also returns for Ravel’s jazzy and spirited Piano Concerto in G major, and Vaughan Williams’ ethereal Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis opens the evocative evening. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Enjoy a pre-concert chat with Dr. Alan Mason 30 minutes before the concert, featuring in-depth conversation and insights about the works and composers.
Among her many accolades, pianist Svetlana Smolina has performed with major orchestras and in recitals worldwide, including the New York Philharmonic, Mariinsky Orchestra, St. Petersburg Philharmonic, Orchestre National de France, Salzburg Festival, Hollywood Bowl, Ravinia, White Nights in Saint Petersburg, Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Moscow Easter Festival, Rotterdam Philharmonic, Hanoi Opera House, London’s Royal Opera Covent Garden, and Rome’s Accademia Santa Cecilia. She has appeared frequently with South Florida Symphony Orchestra, including during its 25th anniversary season, and will also be the featured guest artist at the Symphony’s 2026 gala on January 17.

Her discography includes the solo album Romantic Journey and a 2025 recording of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, both produced by Luca Rustici for L’n’R Productions/Universal Music. Other recordings include Chopin for iTunes, Scriabin on Pentatone, a live concert with Christopher O’Riley in Montana, and a Walt Disney Concert Hall recording for BCM+D Records. Her performances have aired on NPR, WQXR, BBC, PBS, RAI, and Kultura TV. Her recording of Stravinsky’s Les Noces with Valery Gergiev received an International Classical Music Award (ICMA).

Smolina has collaborated in chamber music with Ida Haendel, Vadim Repin, Narek Hakhnazaryan, Kian Soltani, Charlie Siem, and others, performing at venues including Koerner Hall (Toronto), Salle Garnier de Monte Carlo, and Teatro Lirico di Cagliari. Recent engagements include tours in China, Peru, Brazil, Japan, Greece, and Spain, and festival appearances at iPalpiti, Classical Tahoe, and Triumph Music Festival.

SFSO’s 28th season of “Juxtapositions” explores beauty in contrasts, where the bold and the sublime intersect, and timeless masterpieces share the stage with today’s most compelling and celebrated musical voices. From Mozart’s vivacious “Haffner” symphony to the sun-drenched skies of Mendelssohn’s “Italian” and the sweeping emotion of Sibelius’ Violin Concerto — performances burst with color and power. Beethoven’s luminous Piano Concerto No. 4 and Dvořák’s Bohemian Eighth deepen the journey, while Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio espagnol whirls with Spanish flair. SFSO is also proud to present upcoming orchestra firsts by contemporary GRAMMY-nominated composers, including the Florida premiere of Had to Be by Haitian American Nathalie Joachim, featuring breakout cellist Seth Parker Woods, and Carlos Simon’s Four Black American Dances.

From sold-out masterworks performances to accompanying today’s musicians such as Natalie Merchant and performing modern musical scores including Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas and Back to the Future, featuring the iconic films screened live with audio and musical accompaniment, South Florida’s largest symphonic orchestra is continuing its journey of excellence inspiring audiences of all ages and musical genres.

Mouse King: The Untold Story Of The Nutcracker Returns For Its 2025 Holiday Run, Bringing South Florida A Fresh Twist On A Timeless Tale

South Florida’s favorite holiday tradition is back! Mouse King: The Untold Story of The Nutcracker, the family-favorite musical created by Sesame Street veteran Noel MacNeal and award-winning composer Jim Camacho, returns to the Mandelstam Theater this December with an all-new edition of the magically reimagined Nutcracker story… told from the other side of the battle.
Now in its twelfth year, “Mouse King” invites audiences to step into a whimsical world where the mice take center stage and the Nutcracker isn’t quite the hero he’s been made out to be. Packed with heart, humor, and holiday wonder, the musical brings together a vibrant cast of young Miami performers, spectacular puppetry, and show-stopping special effects for an unforgettable seasonal tradition.

“Twelve years ago, Noel MacNeal shared an idea, and I nudged him to take it from page to stage. We met in a coffee shop to dream up Mouse King, and somehow that little spark has become a South Florida holiday tradition,” says composer Jim Camacho. “Thanks to our incredible kids, professional actors and puppeteers, and the extraordinary puppets crafted by James Wojtal of Henson and Sesame Street, the spirit of Christmas fills the Mandelstam Theater every year.”

Featuring puppets crafted by master puppeteer James Wojtal Jr. – whose work has appeared on Saturday Night Live, The Today Show, and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver – the production also welcomes guest artists from New York City. Together, they bring MacNeal’s imaginative retelling to life in a way that captivates first-timers and returning families alike.

With a one-hour runtime and no intermission, “Mouse King” is designed for audiences of all ages (minimum age 3). The production remains one of Miami’s most cherished seasonal outings, drawing families back year after year to celebrate the magic of storytelling, community, and Chrismouse cheer.

2025 PERFORMANCE DATES
Friday, December 12 – 7 PM
Saturday, December 13 – 12 PM & 7 PM
Sunday, December 14 – 12 PM

All children, regardless of age, require a ticket. Minimum age is 3 years.

ABOUT “MOUSE KING”
A holiday musical for the whole family, “Mouse King” retells the classic Nutcracker story from the perspective of the mice – complete with enchanting music, handcrafted puppets, and a cast of talented young performers from across the Miami community. Created by acclaimed puppeteer Noel MacNeal (The Muppets, Bear in the Big Blue House, Sesame Street) and award-winning composer Jim Camacho, the musical has become a cherished South Florida tradition celebrating its twelfth year in 2025.

In collaboration with Casa Obsidiana and Daniel Ashley Co., this exclusive dinner at the Four Seasons Miami invites guests to explore the intersection of craftsmanship and creativity.

Visionary host and Wine Enthusiast’s Person of the Year, Jean-Charles Boisset of JCB Collection, joins Casa Obsidiana co-founder and a member of one of the oldest families in tequila, Roberto Beckmann, to curate an unforgettable multi-course pairing experience. Together, they unite the worlds of wine and tequila — transforming each sip into a work of art. This rare collaboration celebrates heritage, craftsmanship, and the pursuit of perfection from vine to agave. Each course reveals a dialogue between liquid artistry and material beauty where Casa Obsidiana’s sculptural bottles stand as masterpieces of form and symbolism, and Daniel Ashley Co.’s fine fabrics add a tactile dimension of texture and elegance.

A feast for the senses and the soul, this evening is more than a dinner—it’s an ode to artistry in all its forms, reflecting the spirit of Miami Art Week itself: bold, inspired, and unforgettable.

Mostly Baroque presents Classical Music Performance Festival 2/26/26

Mostly Baroque presents Classical Music Performance Festival
Thursday, 02/26/2026-, 07:00 pm-09:00 pm
Adrienne Arsht Center
1300 Biscayne Blvd.,
Miami, Florida, 33132
Website
Cost: $70.20

Mostly Baroque presents an intimate three-concert series from February 26 – March 1, 2026 in Carnival Studio Theater, making its debut during the Adrienne Arsht Center’s 20th anniversary season. The South Florida-based instrumental ensemble is dedicated to historically informed vocal concerts and instrumental performances of the music of Bach, Handel, Telemann and Vivaldi, among other Baroque composers.

A Baroque orchestra is more intimate in both size and sound than a modern symphonic orchestra, featuring violins, violas, celli, double bass, harpsichord, flute, oboe, and trumpet. The musicians perform on period instruments or faithful reproductions, using Baroque bows that produce a warmer, softer and more nuanced tone than modern orchestral ones. This historically informed approach allows audiences to experience the music much as it would have been heard in the 18th century – with clarity, balance, and a natural expressiveness that highlights the beauty and detail of the compositions.

Mostly Baroque concert series schedule:

Thursday, February 26, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. – The festival opens with J.S. Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos Nos. 2, 3 and 4, and a performance of GP Telemann’s Don Quichotte suite. (Running time: 120 minutes.)
Friday, February 27, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. – Rising bass-baritone concert artist and composer Johan Hartman will perform Gerald Finzi’s Let Us Garlands Bring (a setting of five Shakespeare songs), along with the Don Quixote songs of Jacques Ibert (written for the 1933 film) – performing famous works in English, French, German and Italian. The program will also feature several original song cycles from Johan Hartman’s debut EP album, Blood and the Moon, recently released on Constitution Records. (Running time: 60 minutes.)
Sunday, March 1, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. – The festival concludes with the ensemble’s critically acclaimed production of Pergolesi’s La Serva Padrona, a light and charming comedic chamber opera about a servant’s plan to become the master of the house, starring Johan Hartman and soprano Yi-Chun Sarah Tsai. Special guest stars include The Miami Oratorio Society, an African American chorus performing Black Spirituals by African American pioneering composer Florence Price and choruses from Handel’s Messiah with the Mostly Baroque Chamber Orchestra. (Running time: 75 minutes.)
