Opening Reception
DVCAI at Barry University presents Riddims of Graffiti, a solo exhibition featuring Izia Lindsay, MFA, Assistant Professor of Art at Augustana University. The exhibition opens May 14, 2026 and runs through August 22, 2026.

Lindsay is a mixed media artist working across digital and traditional processes. His work draws on Caribbean iconography—rooted in tradition and reimagined through contemporary ideas—to create layered visual narratives that reflect on identity and class in a post-colonial society.

Free and open to the public.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Izia Lindsay is a mixed media artist who works across digital and traditional media to create bold, multi-layered visual stories. Grounded in Caribbean iconography and shaped by contemporary ideas, his work explores identity and class in a post-colonial society—drawing from material culture, indigenous histories, lived traditions, and the ever-changing landscape of the Caribbean.

Known for geometric forms and dynamic compositions, Lindsay builds what he describes as a kind of “controlled naturalism,” where lines and shapes intersect, overlap, and hold multiple meanings at once. The result is a cultural narrative that reflects the dualities of a turbulent, cosmopolitan Caribbean life.

Arte Nuova: Art Nouveau Music in Italy

Trinity Episcopal Cathedral

Miami, Florida, 33132
Buy Tickets
Cost: $5.00

Orchestra Miami is excited to partner with the Music Ministry of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral to create the Saturdays at Trinity Series in their historic sanctuary in Downtown Miami. These concerts will feature music performed by soloists from Orchestra Miami along with the finest singers in South Florida.

The series, performed on Saturdays at 7 PM, will explore the lush and opulent music of the Art Nouveau era (roughly 1885 to the 1930’s). This period is known for its opulence, lushness and eclecticism- music that was often theatrical, grandly scaled, and adorned with complex harmonies.

Our exploration of the Art Nouveau era begins in Italy, where we discover stile floreale, or “floral style” music. The music of this era pushed boundaries and created a lush sound as it expanded the musical ideals of the early 1900’s.

The program includes Il Tramonto, a breathtaking and dramatic lyric poem/cantata composed by Ottorino Respighi for string quartet and mezzo-soprano, Respighi’s gorgeous, rarely heard Piano Quintet in F Minor. The program also explores some of the lesser-known works of one of Italy’s most famous composers, Giacomo Puccini, Crisantemi for string quartet and some of his art songs. Lastly the program ends with some of Italy’s sunniest works, canzoni Napoltane by Giorgio Tosti.

The performers include some of Orchestra Miami’s finest musicians- Huifang Chen and Dale Sandvold on the violin, Gregory Falkenstein on the viola and Susan Bergeron on cello- along with Artistic Director Elaine Rinaldi on the piano. Also featured are special guests Metropolitan Opera Grand Finalist Award winner, mezzo-soprano Maggie Reneé and frequent Orchestra Miami collaborator, tenor Gerardo Ortega.

Admission is on a Pay-What-You-Wish basis starting at just $5, or you can reserve a front row seat for just $30! You are invited to join a wine and bubbly reception with the artists following the performance.

Saturday, May 16, 2026, 7 PM at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, 464 NE 16 Street, Miami, 33132 in downtown Miami. Free parking is available at the church (tell the attendant you are there for the concert) or Pay-by-Phone street parking is available. Parking is also available in the Omni Garage or take the Metro Mover to the Omni Station.

The Saturdays at Trinity series is generously sponsored by a grant from the Miami DDA. The next two concerts are La Musique Nouvelle, Art Nouveau in France on Saturday, June 13th, and Neue Musik, the music of the Art Nouveau in Germany and Austria on July 11th. Tickets and info are available at www.orchestramiami.org, or call (305) 274-2103.
