SUMMARY:South Florida Symphony Orchestra Presents Joachim\, Simon\, Mozart and Rimsky-Korsakov at Tennessee Williams Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Timeless classics meet bold new voices as South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO)\, led by award-winning music director and multi-generational Key West Conch native Maestra Sebrina María Alfonso\, celebrates Black History Month with a standout program. SFSO will present the anticipated Florida premiere of GRAMMY® nominee Nathalie Joachim’s Had to Be\, an intimate exploration of memory and identity\, performed by rising cellist Seth Parker Woods and the orchestral premiere of Carlos Simon’s Four Black American Dances\, a vibrant work filled with spiritual depth. Completing the program\, Mozart’s “Haffner” symphony bursts with celebratory energy and elegant precision\, while Rimsky-Korsakov’s crowd-pleasing Capriccio espagnol sparkles with irresistible Spanish rhythms on Saturday\, February 21\, at 7:30 p.m.\, at the Tennessee Williams Theatre at The College of the Florida Keys (5901 College Road).\nHaitian American composer Nathalie Joachim’s Had To Be draws on Black Dandyism – a cultural movement blending European and Black American male fashion to convey style\, status\, and identity – as well as broader African diasporic influences\, including Caribbean musical traditions and New Orleans second line celebrations. The three-movement concerto was written for three-time GRAMMY-nominated cellist Seth Parker Woods\, described by The Guardian as “a cellist of power and grace” with “mature artistry and willingness to go to the brink.” \nHad to Be is positive\, prideful\, and radical all at once. It represents the perpetually colorful and complex intersections between race\, class\, gender\, power\, and style. It honors what it means to be Black and continuously choosing to be free. By coincidence\, or perhaps to no surprise\, Woods has topped the Best Dressed Lists in Variety\, Texas Monthly\, and OC Register. \nCellist Seth Parker Woods is a versatile artist and advocate for contemporary music\, having premiered numerous concertos written for him\, including works by Tyshawn Sorey\, Julia Adolphe\, and Rebecca Saunders\, in addition to Nathalie Joachim’s Had To Be. His GRAMMY-nominated\, autobiographical work Difficult Grace has been performed to critical acclaim at major venues including 92NY\, CAP UCLA\, and the San Diego Symphony. Woods has appeared at Carnegie Hall\, the Kennedy Center\, and Konzerthaus Dortmund\, among others. Since 2022\, he has served on the faculty of USC Thornton School of Music and was appointed Robert Mann Chair in Strings and Chamber Music in 2024. He has also held residencies with the Kaufman Music Center and Seattle Symphony and received the 2022 Chamber Music America Michael Jaffee Visionary Award. \nSFSO is also proud to present its orchestral premiere of Four Black American Dances from GRAMMY-nominated African American composer\, Carlos Simon\, the composer-in-residence for the John F. Kennedy Center. \nAdding to the varied program\, SFSO will perform Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Symphony No. 35 “Haffner\,” a four-movement vibrant\, celebratory symphony written in 1782\, to honor Mozart’s friend\, Sigmund Haffner\, and his rise to nobility in Salzberg. \nConcluding the evening is the crowd-pleasing Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio espagnol\, based on Spanish folk songs and dances\, and filled with vibrant rhythms that whisk audiences off to exotic\, far-off places of the imagination. \nSFSO’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. This season’s performances burst with color and power from the sun-drenches skies of Mendelssohn’s “Italian” to Sibelius’ soul-searching Violin Concerto to Beethoven’s luminous Piano Concerto No. 4 and Dvořák’s Bohemian Eighth. \nSFSO’s Florida Keys Masterworks season of Juxtapositions runs from January through March 2026 at the Tennessee Williams Theatre in Key West. The first concert took place in January\, with two remaining in the series. \nTickets are on sale now beginning at $35 (plus ticketing fees) and two concert subscription packages are still available from $59.50. Subscribers receive a 15% discount off single ticket prices. Tickets may be purchased by visiting southfloridasymphony.org\, or keystix.com or by calling (305) 295-7676. \nFor additional information\, visit southfloridasymphony.org\, call (954) 522-8445 or email\ninfo@southfloridasymphony.org

SUMMARY:Guy Harvey: The Documentary (FLIFF World Premiere Screening and Reception)
DESCRIPTION:The documentary follows Dr. Guy Harvey’s transformation from an inquisitive boy into a prominent advocate for ocean conservation. Growing up in Jamaica and trained as a marine biologist\, he dedicated his life to the creatures that first ignited his imagination\, capturing their beauty and power in striking artwork of ocean life that has become just as iconic. However\, beneath the surface of his paintings lies a more profound narrative\, one of commitment\, discipline\, and a lifelong mission to safeguard the waters that have given him purpose. What started as childhood sketches of blue marlins evolved into a global initiative where art\, science and conservation intertwine. This film explores that journey\, presenting a portrait of a man. \nDirected by Emmy Award-winning director and producer Nick Nanton\, the film has been selected to close out the prestigious Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival (FLIFF). The screening will be followed by a Q&A with cast and crew\, and a celebratory meet and greet event with Dr. Harvey will take place immediately after. \nTo watch the trailer\, visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-95pmlaPN0 \nTo purchase tickets\, visit https://fliff.com/events/guyharveythedocumentary/
