South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO) invites patrons to sail away to “Ravel on the Riviera,” this year’s annual gala fundraiser that captures the romance of the South of France in the golden age — where the glamour of Josephine Baker and the soulful voice of Edith Piaf filled seaside cabarets, and champagne flowed under starlit skies. The enchanting evening, which pays homage to both the celebrated French composer, pianist and conductor and the sun-drenched Mediterranean coastline renowned for its artistic heritage, will take place on Saturday, January 17, at 5:30 p.m., at Coral Ridge Yacht Club (2800 Yacht Club Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale). The event, which celebrates South Florida community arts leaders and advocates who support SFSO’s impactful artistic, community engagement and music education initiatives, will feature a private performance by international pianist Svetlana Smolina.

This formal gala evening will recognize Sound of Success regional arts advocates Jeannette and Francisco Alvarado of Marand Builders, Miriam Richter, William Sandrik & Henry Smith, Jerry Taylor & Nancy Bryant Foundation and the Warten Foundation for their instrumental support of SFSO’s impactful community outreach and musical programming initiatives.

Guests will be welcomed with champagne and signature cocktails, setting the tone for a night of Riviera elegance. A three-course French dinner follows, accompanied by evocative melodies that bring to life the timeless charm of the Côte d’Azur. The highlight of the evening will be a private performance by acclaimed pianist Svetlana Smolina, whose artistry captures the brilliance of Ravel and the spirit of the French Riviera.

As the night unfolds, the celebration continues with a dessert reception, sparkling apéritifs, and dancing on theme — a true voyage to another era, blending vintage Parisian allure with nautical Mediterranean sophistication.

SFSO’s “Ravel on the Riviera” Gala is chaired by Kate and Brent Nelson. This year’s sponsors include Mark Kravitz and Aviah Flagler Village (Special Recognition), Chuck Nicholls and Mark Turner (Décor Sponsors) and Ombelle Fort Lauderdale (Valet Sponsor).

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 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.

Individual tickets for South Florida Symphony Orchestra’s “Ravel on the Riviera” Gala start at $500. Standard seating tables for 10 start at $5,000 and VIP tables start at $10,000. Tickets can be purchased at southfloridasymphony.org/gala-2026. Sponsorship opportunities are still available for this special evening.

Kwame Onwuachi is one of the most influential chefs of his generation, known for championing Afro-Caribbean flavors with inventive flair.

Born and raised in Saint Lucia, she infuses her dishes with bold island flavors, refined technique, and personal storytelling drawn from her roots. Her culinary leadership and warm hospitality have made her one of the brightest forces in contemporary Caribbean dining.

Rounding out the experience, award-winning DJ GQ will bring the heat to the Surfcomber with his signature mix of dancehall and reggae beats. Born in Miami and raised in Jamaica, DJ GQ—who’s toured globally with Kevin Lyttle and shared stages with artists like Akon, DMX, Mr. Vegas, and Skip Marley—infuses his sets with the same cultural energy that’s made him a mainstay on Y100 Miami and Bob Marley’s Tuff Gong Radio. A 2024 EDMA Mixshow DJ of the Year, he’s known for transforming any event into a vibrant celebration of Caribbean rhythm and spirit—making him the perfect soundtrack for this tropical soirée.

Island City Stage presents The Little Foxes

Cost: https://www.islandcitystage.org/season-13-1-1#/productions-view

Lillian Hellman’s The Little Foxes, a searing Broadway and silver screen classic, storms into Island City Stage with all its ruthless ambition, razor-sharp dialogue, and Southern gothic splendor from January 8 – February 1. Tickets are on sale now.

Set in the Deep South at the turn of the 20th century, this gripping drama follows the wealthy but morally bankrupt Hubbard family, bound by blood but torn apart by greed. At the center is Regina, a calculating and charismatic woman determined to get her share of the American Dream—no matter the cost. Together with her cruel brothers Oscar and Benjamin, the Hubbards will stop at nothing to secure a fortune. But when Regina’s ailing husband refuses to fund their scheme, the claws come out and the lies begin to spiral. With money on the line and family loyalty up for sale, the Hubbards prove one chilling truth: some people eat the earth—and some just stand by and watch.

The original Broadway production of The Little Foxes opened in 1939 at the National Theatre and ran for 410 performances. It originally starred Tallulah Bankhead as Regina Hubbard Giddens who went on to win awards and reprise her role in the 1941 radio adaptation. It was Bette Davis, however, who starred in the film adaptation alongside the other Broadway stars making their film debuts. Over the years and many incarnations of the play, the coveted role of the malevolently, ruthlessly scheming Regina Giddens has been played by notable actresses including Greer Garson, Anne Bancroft, Geraldine Page, Stockard Channing, Marg Helgenberger, Laura Linney and Cynthia Nixon.

Austin Pendleton directed a production at the Parker Playhouse in Fort Lauderdale for three weeks that transferred to the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., for six weeks before opening on Broadway in 1981, at the Martin Beck Theatre for 123 performances and eight previews. The cast included Elizabeth Taylor as Regina, Tom Aldredge as Horace, Dennis Christopher as Leo, Maureen Stapleton as Birdie, and Anthony Zerbe as Benjamin. Taylor received nominations for both the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actress in a Play. Tony nominations also went to Pendleton for Best Direction of a Play, Aldredge for Best Featured Actor in a Play, Stapleton for Best Featured Actress in a Play, and the play itself for Best Revival.

Island City Stage’s production of The Little Foxes is directed by Michael Leeds and stars Mia Matthews (Regina), Margery Lowe (Birdie), Christopher Dreeson (Horace), JohnBarry Green (Oscar), Cary Brianna Hart (Haddie), Christian Cooper (Leo), Jeff Burleson (Marshall), Mallory Flory (Alexandra), Randy Coleman (Cal), and Steve Trovillion (Ben).

The Little Foxes co-producers are Thel Boyette & David Page, Lights and Sound Sponsors are Glenn Goldberg & Robert Lee, Talent Sponsors are Art & Fran Greenberg and Costume Sponsor is Scott Bennett. Additional funding is provided by the following: The Our Fund Foundation, The Schubert Foundation Inc., the SHS Foundation, the Warten Foundation, OutClique and the Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward Cultural Council.

Investing in heritage and community is priority #1 for Chef JJ Johnson. The James Beard Award–winning chef, author, and TV personality has made it his personal and professional mission to amplify underrepresented voices through food – to use cuisine not merely as a means of breaking boundaries and building bridges, but to reimagine it as a model for rewriting history.

The Cookout is Chef JJ’s way of reclaiming and celebrating the beauty and brilliance of African American culinary traditions. It’s an opportunity to honor the individuals who have shaped and sustained this extraordinary legacy. As the visionary behind this unique SOBEWFF® walkaround event, Chef JJ brings together dishes that tell the story of heritage, resilience, and creativity.

At this event, you’ll savor an array of dishes, each representing a piece of history and tradition. These creations will be brought to life by an exceptional and diverse group of chefs who, like Chef JJ, are passionate about reconstructing historical foodways and paying homage to culturally significant ingredients and techniques.

Capping off the evening, Grammy-nominated hip-hop legend Fat Joe will deliver an electrifying live performance. A Bronx native and cultural icon, Fat Joe has shaped the sound of hip-hop for over two decades with chart-topping hits like “Lean Back,” “What’s Luv?” and “All the Way Up.” His undeniable influence and charismatic stage presence have earned him global acclaim, cementing his place as one of the genre’s most enduring figures.

With Fat Joe bringing the beats and Chef JJ curating the bites, this vibrant celebration at the Eden Roc promises an unforgettable fusion of food, music, and storytelling — a night where heritage, rhythm, and flavor come together in perfect harmony.

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.

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.

South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO) continues its 28th spirited Masterworks season of “Juxtapositions” with a sparkling evening of music led by SFSO’s award-winning music director Sebrina María Alfonso. On Wednesday, January 21, at The Parker in Fort Lauderdale (707 NE 8th 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.
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.

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.

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.
