For the 2012 Family Concert, The Cleveland Orchestra Miami partners with one of the hottest young Latin bands today, Miami-based three-time Grammy-nominated music group Tiempo Libre, for a program that explores the DNA of orchestral music traditions from its early origins in Africa, through Europe, to the Caribbean and Latin America, to the modern day concert hall.
Join us for a journey of “musical crossings” that pairs Tiempo Libre’s high-voltage musicians, classically trained at Cuba’s premiere conservatories, with The Cleveland Orchestra, one of world’s top orchestras, in a joyful, dance-inducing, hour-long concert for the entire family!
Tickets on sale now. Bring the whole family – tickets start at just $12!
The 2012 Family Concert is part of the inaugural season of Crossings~Travesias, under Principal Guest Conductor Giancarlo Guerrero’s leadership. The project will present music of the many crossings that make Miami-Dade a culturally diverse community. Tiempo Libre will perform with the Orchestra in the specially-created ¡Música Fantástica! Family Concert program on March 24, 2012. Additional program details for Crossings~Travesías will be announced at a later date.
