The 9th Annual Festival of the Arts BOCA Set for March 2015
By: Tyler Peterson
Annual Festival of the Arts BOCA, presented by the Schmidt Family Centre for the Arts, will bring ten days of dazzling and diverse cultural experiences to South Florida March 6 - 15, 2015 at the Mizner Park Amphitheater in Boca Raton.
"The Festival will close with a spectacular concert featuring the Young People's Chorus of New York in Beethoven's immortal Ninth Symphony," said Charlie Siemon, Chair and Co-Executive Producer of the Festival of the Arts BOCA. "Throughout the ten-day cultural celebration, festival-goers will enjoy a rich and diverse line-up as we bring back artists from years past and welcome some of the greatest intellectual leaders of our time." This season's Festival opens on March 6, 2015 with the Florida premiere of the ten time Academy Award winning film, West Side Story. Festival Orchestra Boca will play Leonard Bernstein's electrifying score and memorable songs with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim live, while the newly re-mastered film is shown in glorious high definition on the big screen with the original vocals and dialog intact. Other highlights include a performance by Grammy award winning husband and wife banjo duo Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn; the Stars of International Ballet featuring Principal Dancer and Choreographer Guillaume Cote from the National Ballet of Canada & Friends; a Mozart Gala bringing together living legend of the flute, Sir James Galway, pianist Conrad Tao, and Arnaud Sussmann with the Festival Orchestra Boca led by Constantine Kitsopoulos; and the Young People's Chorus of New York and Beethoven's Ninth Symphony with Master Chorale of South Florida and Festival Orchestra Boca.Love Theater in Miami?
