IlluminArts and Vizcaya present:

Songs of the Night

​

IlluminArts and Vizcaya Museum and Gardens were excited to present their fourth collaboration, Songs of the Night, a dazzling concert of music inspired by the beauty and mystery of Vizcaya. 

 

The concert opened with the brilliant sounds of trumpets ringing across the Vizcaya courtyard in Benjamin Britten’s Fanfare for St Edmundsbury. As the trumpet calls faded away, we shifted to the lush sounds of a string quartet accompanying the award-winning baritone Jonathan Beyer in gorgeous music from Samuel Barber and Gerald Finzi. Peppered throughout the program, a string sextet added fire, blazing through Tchaikovsky’s virtuosic Souvenir de Florence. 

 

This hour-long concert took place in the Courtyard of Vizcaya's Main House on Saturday, October 28, 2023 at 7:00PM. Tickets for general seating were $15 and a select number of balcony seats were available for $20. Audiences experienced an unforgettable evening of classical melodies against the backdrop of a mesmerizing full moon rising over Biscayne Bay.
