South Florida JAZZ, the area’s premier modern jazz organization, concludes its star-studded 25th Anniversary celebration season by presenting world-renowned bassist Christian McBride with his cryptically named trio Tip City. The performance will take place on Saturday, June 10, 2017 at 8:00 p.m. in the Rose & Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center on the Nova Southeastern University campus, 3100 Ray Ferrero Jr Blvd, Davie 33314. Tickets are $40 ($10 for students under age 25 with valid I.D.) and can be purchased from Ticketmaster either online via southfloridajazz.org or by calling 954-462-0222.

Bassist Christian McBride is one of those bigger-than-life artists who just burst onto the music scene seemingly in full bloom. His father and great uncle, both well-known Philadelphia bassists, mentored him early. Half of a lifetime ago, by his 21st birthday, he was a remarkably mature player and rapidly becoming everyone’s favorite young acoustic bassist of the 1990s. Christian’s huge sound and prodigious technique, both with plucked and bowed solos, recall the legendary Ray Brown and particularly Paul Chambers. He actually started on electric bass when he was eight and took R&B gigs in high school, but by then he was getting more interested in jazz and playing the acoustic bass. Five Grammys later, he now plays both in a variety of settings.

Featuring: Christian McBride – bass, Emmet Cohen – piano, Mark Whitfield – guitar.

Funding for South Florida JAZZ is provided in part by grant from the Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward Cultural Division

About The Leah Arts District
Hialeah’s Southeastern industrial corridor rose to prominence during the 1980s as one of the largest and busiest areas of production and manufacturing in Florida. As a result of modernization combined with the effects of outsourcing, the uses that were once prevalent in the area dissipated and this particular area was all but abandoned.
Since that time, a medley of different uses has been incorporated into the area including a heavy presence of some of Miami-Dade County’s most prolific thrift stores.

These thrift stores have been instrumental in introducing Hialeah to an entire generation of antique lovers and artists. The Hialeah Artist Live/Work Overlay District, also known as The Leah Arts District, enjoys a strategic proximity to the newly proposed Hialeah Market Station development project, Miami’s artistic hubs, and other destination areas within Miami-Dade County. Because of it’s location and highly affordable price per square footage, Hialeah’s new Artist Live / Work District is in a position to play a vital and important role in the artistic and cultural development of not only Hialeah, but the entire South Florida community.

Offsite Performance Nearing 6/3/17

Offsite Performance Nearing
Saturday, 06/03/2017 – 06:00 pm – 09:00 pm
Artserve
1350 E Sunrise Blvd.,
Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33304
Website
Cost: Free

Girls’ Club presents Offsite Performance: Nearing, an elaborate, multi-media performance from the Fort Lauderdale-based artist Jen Clay on Saturday, June 3, 2017, 6-9pm, at ArtServe, 1350 E Sunrise Blvd, in Fort Lauderdale.

First seating begins promptly at 6:30, the second at 7:30pm, with an interactive prologue and intermission.

Nearing is an immersive experience bringing together large scale puppets, performative sculpture, ambiguous creature-like costumes, stop motion animation and an extra-terrestrial soundscape created by Clay’s collaborator Elise Anderson.

Audiences of all ages are invited to witness the origins of seemingly friendly non-human beings with unknown intentions and a very visceral obsession with the audience, in this interactive performance.

Like much of Clay’s work, Nearing is inspired by the culture of mysterious creature sightings reported in rural communities, like that of West Virginia’s Moth Man and North Carolina’s Brown Mountain Lights. These mysterious phenomena have fed a subculture of paranormal believers, conspiracy theorists and generations of suspicious, imaginative people who doubt we are alone in our universe.

Although the event is appropriate for all ages and takes significant influence from children’s edu-tainment tropes like Sesame Street and Teletubbies, adult themes persist. Nearing references supernatural and fantastical occurrences, re-creating very human experiences of social anxiety, fear and existential doubt.

This event is free and open to the public. RSVP/registration required.

VIP tickets are available and include a copy of Jen Clay’s recently created artist book, published by Is Projects, which acts as a prologue to this performance and includes interactive elements, pop-open doors and pull-out tabs.

Chardavoine is a concrete manifestation of Haitian jazz, a new genre emerging in jazz today. Haitian-born but Brooklyn-bred, the talented guitarist has covered the gambit of musical styles through the waves of his guitar. He is an incredible musician, a creative artist and a refined professional. He represents the best of modern music and the future of jazz, along with his Creole Jazz Ensemble.

Chardavoine is well-known around New York for his association with the late great Dave Valentin, who’s a guest on two of his albums. Last year he had the privilege of playing at Aretha Franklin’s birthday bash with the Tito Puente Jr. orchestra.

His latest release,“The Tribute”, which commemorates the Haitian earthquake victims, showcases his talents – not only as an excellent musician but also as a great creative and seasoned arranger. His previous CD, “Fifth Season”, has been described as funky jazz, played with soul. It’s guitar oriented in the style of George Benson, and lyrical in the style of Stevie Wonder.”

The ensemble features Hilario Bell on drums, Tom McCormick on sax, Rafael Valencia on bass, and Felix Gomez on piano and keys.

BRING YOUR OWN … WHATEVER! The theater boasts cabaret-style table seating, where patrons can bring their own food and drinks, including alcohol. Music courtesy of KCC Productions.

Whether you are a young professional just entering the workforce, or someone more seasoned and ready for retirement, we can all agree that bullying hurts and it has a lifetime effect on everyone involved! This is an opportunity for you to make a difference in the lives of teens by connecting with other professionals and networking for a good cause.

Your donation will help cover the cost of housing, meals, t-shirts, and tuition for at-risk and low income students to attend PALS; a 7-day leadership conference for students who commit to being upstanders instead of bystanders when it comes to bullying and harassment. Whether students are looking to expand their leadership and social skills, learn peer mediation, enhance their public speaking and job interviewing ability, learn to write an impactful resume or to simply develop conflict resolution skills, PALS is here to help students obtain all of those skills in a safe space among a diverse group of their peers. More importantly, all students will practice showing empathy, tolerance, and respect for others.

Taking her music across the nation in 2015 on The Maestro East Coast Tour, LaVie toured 10 major cities including New York City, Boston, D.C., Chicago, Detroit, and Pittsburgh. Opening for KyMani Marley, LaVie performed for thousands of enthusiastic fans.

In March 2016 LaVie was selected as the local artist for the 11th Annual Jazz in the Gardens! LaVie opened for Fred Hammond, Usher, Janelle Monae, and Kenneth Babyface, grateful to have been selected in a concert of such magnitude.

LaVie released “Human,” featuring Recording Artist Giel and Singer/Songwriter Kristine Alicia. Also a fan favorite, her single “Alive” has been and is still touching the hearts of every listener. Channeling her Caribbean heritage, LaVie is working on her EP “The Island Girl” and released her newest single “Queen” in July 2016. All of LaVie’s music is available wherever digital music is sold.

June Film Cycle
Screening Room, Every Tuesday evening starting at 7:00pm

Dive into the Summer season with a curated film cycle featuring new cinematic classics at Faena Hotel Miami Beach’s Screening Room. Under the direction of Jaie Laplante, Director of Programming at Miami Dade College’s Miami Film Festival, this four-film cycle—aptly named “Vacations”—presents a series of storylines centered on the concept of summer vacations, escapes, road trips and the like in which characters seek to break away from their everyday existence only to find they’ve brought their inescapable selves along for the ride.

Week #1 – Pauline at the Beach (France, 1983, Éric Rohmer), 94 minutes.
The third – and sexy best – of Rohmer’s comédies et proverbs series features two cousins, the older Marion and the younger Pauline, taking a summer vacation on the northwest coast of France. Marion has firm ideas about love, whereas the impressionable Pauline is still defining her approach to men. Rohmer wisely and wittingly skewers our human capacity for self-delusion when it comes to sorting out matters of the heart.

Week #2 – Stranger Than Paradise (USA, 1984, Jim Jarmusch), 99 minutes.
The first film from the legendary of icon of American independent cinema still surprises today with its unconventional editing rhythms and often-imitated but never surpassed deadpan comedy. Willie, a New York slacker gets an unexpected visit from his Hungarian cousin Eva, on her way to Cleveland to visit Aunt Lotte. Later, Willie and his friend Eddie take a road trip to pick up Eva and take her on vacation to Florida. Jarmusch’s professional debut won the prestigious Camera d’Or at Cannes for best first film.

Week #3 – Y tu mamá también (Mexico, 2001, Alfonso Cuarón), 106 minutes.
The film that won Cuarón his first Oscar nomination also catapulted Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna into international stardom. Two teenage friends from different sides of the class divide, Tenoch and Julio, brag about the most beautiful secluded beach in Mexico’s to Tenoch’s cousin-in-law Luisa, who has just moved to Mexico from Spain, and offer to take her there on a road trip. But this is no ordinary vacation – for the boys, it is a journey into adulthood, and complexity. Also starring Maribel Verdú.

Week #4 – Vicky Cristina Barcelona (Spain/USA, 2008, Woody Allen), 96 minutes.
Woody Allen’s art soared in new directions once he ventured out of his New York City-only settings, like this droll visit to Spain. American tourists Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett Johansson) take a vacation to Barcelona, where they meet the famous seducer and artist Juan Antonio (Javier Bardem), and his tempestuous former wife Maria Elena (Penélope Cruz, in the famous performance that won her an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress).

“Sogno”
Dreams of Circus… Never give up on your dreams
About Sogno:
Rampin is a street sweeper at the “Circus of Dreams,” the legendary circus for clowns. His dream is to become a world-renowned clown, but his shyness and clumsiness keeps him from reaching his ultimate goal over and over again. Throughout his journey, Rampin has never been in front of a show audience.
Sad and distraught he decides to retire —- shortly after working different odds jobs he falls into a deep sleep state that takes him onto a fabulous adventure (SOGNO) where he meets other aspiring clown dreamers. Rampin and his new circus friends friends take the audience on an immersive journey to turn their clown dreams into a reality and overcome a variety of obstacles during the magical voyage.
“Sogno” is a story that uplifts and inspires you, if you do not try, you will never know if you can. The motto of Sogno is “never give up,” even though it seems the universe is against you. Life lessons by “Rampin” to follow your instincts and use your talents to make your dreams a reality.
Dreams of Circus invites young children and adult spectators to jump into the magical world of circus during an immersive journey with “Sogno” exploring an alternative world of comedic/acrobatic situations and discovering how self-confidence can help you reach your goals.
SOGNO pushes the imagination of childhood fantasy dreams of the circus. International acrobats are part of the world of SOGNO, who are determined to wake up the imagination of the youngest child to the adult who never gives up on dreaming.
This circus performance is suited for the whole family to enjoy (2 years old and older). It will be premiere in Miami from May 12th to the 21st at the Paseo de las Artes in Doral – 3635 NW 78th Ave Doral, Fl 33122.
“Sogno… Dreams of Circus” was created by Francisco Santos, a Spaniard veteran of Cirque du Soleil (creator of successful shows for children and adults.)
Show Duration: 60 minutes.

“Sogno” Dreams of Circus… Never give up on your dreams

About Sogno:
Rampin is a street sweeper at the “Circus of Dreams,” the legendary circus for clowns. His dream is to become a world-renowned clown, but his shyness and clumsiness keeps him from reaching his ultimate goal over and over again. Throughout his journey, Rampin has never been in front of a show audience. Sad and distraught he decides to retire —- shortly after working different odds jobs he falls into a deep sleep state that takes him onto a fabulous adventure (SOGNO) where he meets other aspiring circus dreamers. Rampin and his new friends take the audience on an immersive journey to turn their clown dreams into a reality and overcome a variety of obstacles during the magical voyage.

“Sogno” is a story that uplifts and inspires you, if you do not try, you will never know if you can. The motto of Sogno is “never give up,” even though it seems the universe is against you. Life lessons by “Rampin” to follow your instincts and use your talents to make your dreams a reality.
Dreams of Circus invites young children and adult spectators to jump into the magical world of circus during an immersive journey with “Sogno” exploring an alternative world of comedic/acrobatic situations and discovering how self-confidence can help you reach your goals.

SOGNO pushes the imagination of childhood fantasy dreams of the circus. International acrobats are part of the world of SOGNO, who are determined to wake up the imagination of the youngest child to the adult who never gives up on dreaming.

This circus performance is suited for the whole family to enjoy (2 years old and older). It will be premiere in Miami from May 12th to May 21st at the Paseo de las Artes in Doral – 3635 NW 78th Ave Doral, Fl 33122.

“Sogno… Dreams of Circus” was created by Francisco Santos, a Spaniard veteran creator of successful shows for children and adults. He is a also a former performer at Cirque du Soleil and many other world-renowned circuses throughout his storied career.

PALS is a safe and judgement-free environment where students share their personal experiences and find commonalities with their peers.

Since it’s inception in 2014, PALS has created a network of hundreds of students from across the country that have become peer mentors, college roommates, confidants, and have made a lifelong pledge to be upstanders rather than bystanders. Workshops at PALS include, but are not limited to, topics on suicide prevention, cyber, girl-to-girl, and racial & ethnic bullying.

Experiencing life on a college campus, gives students insight into college life, while the PALS curriculum simultaneously prepares them in the areas of critical thinking, interpersonal skills, how to search for grants and scholarships, and the importance of building a community.

We’re bringing the island of Curaçao to Miami for an epic evening of exploration, culture, and celebration.

On May 13, The New Tropic is transforming the Wynwood Yard into a little slice of the Caribbean getaway with authentic music, cocktails, and interactive experiences, in partnership with the Curaçao Tourist Board. Best of all, we’ll be sending a bunch of you to experience Curaçao for yourselves, on the house, through multiple giveaways.

We’ll be updating you with all deets leading up to the event, but for now, here are some things you can expect:

– Complimentary Curaçao Liqueur-inspired cocktails by local mixologists

– Live Afro-Caribbean-influenced DJ set by DJ Le Spam of Spam All-Stars

– Livestream with locals who’ll be at a simultaneous get-down in Curaçao

Just off the coast of Venezuela, Curaçao is only a three-hour flight from Miami, and the exploration list is insanely long: a unique history and culture, its own language (Papiamentu!), 36 beautiful beaches, hidden herb gardens, a national liquor, iguana soup—and, most importantly, awesome people. Join us to get a taste.

The event is free and open to the community with RSVP.

As described by the artist, at the present time most of his body of work is produced in color, but William acknowledges that the images he best connect with are those that once stripped of their colors make the viewer to pause and to look closely, accentuating their form, texture, and overall soul, proving that a photograph without color can be captivating.

The photographs in this exhibition are a selection of the artist’s impressive black and white photography portfolio that encompasses photos taken from his early beginnings when he was only shooting film up to the current days when he excels in digitally William Riera was born in 1967 in Santiago de Cuba, Cuba.

BACCF DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY SERIES

Technology is moving so quickly, and in so many directions, that it becomes challenging to pay attention – we are constantly on the lookout for the “next big thing.” While not all innovations are disruptive, still driving economic growth, disruptive technologies challenge and transform not only business models and the global economy, but life itself.

Simply think of how smartphones largely replaced cell phones and PDAs and, because of the available apps, also disrupted: pocket cameras, MP3 players, calculators and GPS devices, among many others. For some mobile users, smartphones often replace laptops.

True market disruption happens when there is a confluence of multiple events, including seemingly unrelated technology advancements in adjacent industries, by emerging complementary aspects and market readiness for change. For example, artificial intelligence offers the opportunity to change the health of populations, from how individuals track symptoms and life expectancy, to the very nature of diagnostic, surgical, and hospital care, and the economics of health insurance.

Thus, any player, from any industry, can come in unexpectedly with a new business model, fueled by innovative technologies and ideas, and render everyone else obsolete. Therefore, companies need to operate in a state of hyper revolution with the inherent capacity and competency to evolve quickly. For companies and entrepreneurs, that means institutionalizing innovation. Empowering and appreciating employees for increased effectiveness. Having strategies to satisfy clients’ functional and emotional needs. Looking at all market players, even competitors, as potential partners in various levels of alliance. Looking at technology as an increasing enabler of effective change. Constantly looking at new ways of thinking and acting.

Experts suggest that disruptive technology trends to watch for in 2017 include artificial intelligence, automation of everything (cars, finance, etc.), internet of everything, virtual reality, 3D printing, biometrics and digital ID, big data, healthcare, mobile workforce, and space exploration.

The Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce of Florida (BACCF) will be at the forefront of disruptive technologies, by bringing experts to keep its members and the overall business community abreast of trends and innovative business practices.

Jungle Island
1111 Jungle Island Trail,
Miami, Florida 33132
RSVP / Register
Cost: $75 per person or $750 per table

PhilanthropyMiami© (PhilanthropyMiami.org) and The Miami Foundation announced today that Alberto Ibargüen, president and CEO of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, is the recipient of the 2017 Community Champion Award, and Rebecca Fishman Lipsey is the winner of the Ruth Shack Leadership Award.

Ibargüen and Lipsey will be honored at the 20th Donor Next Door Luncheon at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, May 11, at Jungle Island, 1111 Parrot Jungle Trail, in Miami. The luncheon also celebrates the philanthropy of more than 30 individuals, families, foundations and corporations that donate time and money to support the work of nonprofits in South Florida.

As president and CEO of Knight Foundation, Ibargüen oversees a national foundation with $2.3 billion in assets and $140 million in annual grants. Knight invests in programs in journalism, technology, and the arts and in the success of 26 U.S. cities. Ibargüen’s leadership and vision have spurred entrepreneurship and social change in Miami-Dade County, shaking up the status quo to make way for startups, groundbreaking technology programs and community organizations energized with new ideas and solutions.

“As the president of Knight Foundation, Alberto adopted a different approach to philanthropy, investing in nonprofit programs and even businesses that sparked economic growth the region sorely needed,” said Hank Raattama, co-chair of PhilanthropyMiami and a partner at Akerman LLP. “Knight Foundation’s investment strategy turned Miami and even South Florida into one of the hottest places for startups in the country. Alberto’s vision has changed our community and the local economy for decades to come.”

The Community Champion Award was established in 2013 by PhilanthropyMiami, formerly LEAVE A LEGACY© of Miami-Dade, and celebrates an individual or organization that contributes to the well-being of the community through work and philanthropy. Ibargüen joins an impressive list of Community Champion Award honorees:

2016 – Deborah Hoffman, philanthropist and volunteer
2015 – Baptist Health South Florida
2014 – David Lawrence Jr., chair of The Children’s Movement of Florida
2013 – Dr. Eduardo Padrón, president of Miami Dade College

As the 2017 recipient of the Ruth Shack Leadership Award, Lipsey embodies the qualities for which Ruth Shack, president emeritus of The Miami Foundation, is known: leadership, ethics, dedication and service to Greater Miami.

Lipsey’s peers and admirers say Lipsey has been a catalyst, inspiring a new generation of leaders to step up and speak up. Lipsey launched Radical Partners, a social innovation accelerator that supports organizations addressing community needs, and fuels collaboration, growth and partnerships that lead to real change. Inspired by the many organizations and individuals she trains, Lipsey marshalled the community around transportation issues, creating Public Transit Day in Miami-Dade County to highlight the importance of public transportation.

“Much like Ruth Shack did around civil rights, Rebecca has sparked action for education, social entrepreneurship, transit solutions and other issues shaping Greater Miami’s future. In this our 50th anniversary year, we’re encouraging all Miamians to champion what matters to them, like Rebecca has done,” said Javier Alberto Soto, president and CEO of The Miami Foundation.

Lipsey joins a noted list of Ruth Shack Leadership Award winners:
2016 – Vance Aloupis – The Children’s Movement of Florida
2015 – Felecia Hatcher – Code Fever and Black Tech Week
2014 – Saif Ishoof – Florida International University
2013 – Amy Rosenberg – National YoungArts Foundation, Overtown Music Project founder
2012 – Daniel Diaz Leyva – Diaz Leyva & Gil, LLC
2011 – Jaret L. Davis – Greenberg Traurig, P.A
2010 – Marlon Hill – Hamilton, Miller & Birthisel

The Sacred Space Miami
105 NE 24th Str],
Miami, Florida 33137
Buy Tickets
Cost: $45

Drawing from an unbroken tradition of Indian devotional singing, Jai Uttal will introduce and lead us in the ancient practice of “Kirtan” (or chanting), the heart of devotional yoga. This practice of calling to the divine creates a bridge between the individual and the eternal, opening the heart and welcoming the spirit. Sometimes soft and meditative and sometimes loud and wildly rhythmic, Kirtan takes the participant on a deep emotional and musical journey through our mostly unexplored inner world. With solo performance and call-and-response group chanting, jai creates a space of invocation, prayer, and heartfelt expression. Jai has been leading Kirtans worldwide for over thirty years. “these ancient chants,” writes Jai “contain a transformative power and healing energy. By singing these prayers we join a stream of consciousness and devotion that has been flowing for centuries.” no previous experience is needed. This is an exploration of the heart, independent of vocal or musical technique. General admission: $45 in advance; $55 at the door premium: $55 in advance; $65 at the door; valet parking and self-parking is available.
