Beethoven’s majestic compositional output did not only open the door to the romanticism of the 19th century, but rather, has continuously exerted its universal influence on every generation of composers to follow, leading into the present day. This program will feature Beethoven’s piano sonata Op. 101 - a magnificent manifestation of his trailblazing late style - and three works that pay homage to Beethoven in unique ways: the ‘Concord’ Sonata by the great American master of the 20th century, Charles Ives; Ten Bagatelles for piano by Jonathan Dawe, hailed as “one of our most talented and distinctive...contemporary composers” (Seen and Heard International); and No. V: Three Bagatelles by Clarence Barlow, internationally esteemed pioneer of electroacoustic and computer music known for his wide-ranging musical vocabulary and interdisciplinary compositional approach that unites mathematics, computer science, visual art, and literature. About pianist Reed Tetzloff: “A musician of great authority.” – Richard Goode American pianist Reed Tetzloff, one of the brightest stars of a new generation of musicians, enthralls audiences with his “magical tone” (The Cincinnati Enquirer) and “ebullient” virtuosity (Gramophone Magazine).

Tetzloff has performed multiple tours in Europe, Asia, and the United States, and made his Lincoln Center concerto debut at Alice Tully Hall, and his New York solo recital debut at Merkin Hall.

Point of Convergence – A Musical and Dance Voyage developed by Arsenio Diaz – is a program that recognizes and respects cultural differences by promoting the understanding of ethnic heritage through music and dance. The main purpose of this program is to bring awareness about the need to preserve heritage, traditions, and culture. The performance features the use of ethnic instruments such as the Sitar, Tabla drums, Bata drums, and Suona horn (to name a few) to highlight the mesmerizing and skillful Afro-Cuban and Indian dances. This multi-disciplinary show is a journey through music and dance that starts with traditional and ceremonial pieces of each of these differing cultures, eventually joining one another on stage to show us the points of similarities these two seemingly differing cultures actually hold. We therefore hope to present an original, didactic, and exceptional performance that will be fascinating, educational, and accessible to our community. The approach to this project is rooted on the conversion of ethnicities and the celebration of multiculturalism and will be performed by artists from our local community – artists with an Indo-American and Afro-Latin heritage. The skills, experience, and expertise of the performers, along with the ravishing sonorities and dances, will delight and awe the audience with a performance that embodies the heritage, traditions, and culture of many of our communities in the South Florida area. Featured Artists – Arsenio Diaz, Michael Gil, Marisol Blanco, Aparna Matange, Manuel Clua, Sudhir Limaye, Eduardo Rodriguez.
