An Evening with Branford Marsalis at Adrienne Arsht Center

February 9th, 2023 No comments

An Evening With Branford Marsalis
March 3 at 8 p.m.
Knight Concert Hall | Tickets start at $45*

 

Branford Marsalis is one of the most influential and revered figures in contemporary music. The NEA Jazz Master, Grammy Award winner, Tony Award and Emmy nominee is equally at home performing concertos with symphony orchestras and sitting in with members of the Grateful Dead, but the Branford Marsalis Quartet remains his primary means of expression.

After more than three decades, this celebrated ensemble – featuring saxophonist Branford Marsalis, pianist Joey Calderazzo, bassist Eric Revis (each with more than 20 years of service to the group) and drummer Justin Faulkner, who joined the group in 2009 – is revered for its uncompromising interpretations of original compositions and jazz and popular classics. After the Grammy-nominated Upward Spiral, on which guest vocalist Kurt Elling was seamlessly integrated into the group, the quartet followed up with the Grammy-nominated 2019 album The Secret Between the Shadow and the Soul, its most emotionally wide-ranging and melody-driven collection to date.

BOX OFFICE: 949-6722

Praise for the ‘Ocean to Ocean’ Tour:

“It’s hard to recall a recent live performance as virtuosic as Tori Amos.” – Houston Press

 

“…fresh, funk-kissed arrangements (…) added depth, danceability and dynamic grooves”

– Magnet Magazine

 

 

(West Palm Beach, Fl. – January 31, 2023)  Today, trailblazing musician, author and activist Tori Amos announced a US tour this summer to continue celebration of her highly acclaimed 2021 album, Ocean to Ocean.  Tori Amos will launch her Ocean to Ocean US Tour at the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday, June 17, 2023. Tickets for the West Palm Beach performance start at $39* and go on sale to the public on Friday February 3 at 10 a.m. online at kravis.org.

Following a sold-out world tour throughout 2022, Tori will once again be performing with long-time collaborator bassist Jon Evans and renowned UK drummer Ash Soan, with special guest support to be announced. She will also be making stops at venues like the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado, and a special stop at Wolf Trap in Virginia, where Amos grew up attending shows.

“I am truly excited to be coming back to the US on the Ocean to Ocean Tour this summer with my amazing bandmates Jon Evans and Ash Soan,” Tori says. “We are so looking forward to playing iconic venues once again such as The Greek in LA, Red Rocks and especially Wolf Trap, where I saw so many shows growing up in neighboring Maryland. As I write this, I’m training hard as we head to Europe in March before then heading back to the States in June.”

To Get Tickets: 

Tickets for Tori Amos Ocean to Ocean US Tour West Palm Beach will go on sale to Kravis Center Members starting on Wednesday, February 1 at 10 a.m.  through Thursday, February 2 at 10 p.m. online only by clicking on the member priority eblast.

Ocean to Ocean received widespread acclaim by fans and media alike, earning support from

PitchforkEntertainment WeeklyStereogumSPINNPRPBS NewsHour Weekend, and many others. The record debuted at #2 on the Billboard Current Alternative Albums Chart and #6 on the Billboard Album Sales Chart, marking her tenth “Top 10” appearance.

The album is Amos’ most personal work in years – bursting with warmth and connection, with deep roots in her earliest songwriting. As communities around the world suffered the loss of life, live music, travel, and much at all to observe, Tori had a difficult time during the pandemic. She descended to an emotional state lower than she had been to for a long time – but the depths became creative, forcing a return to the kind of introspection she recognised from her debut album Little Earthquakes. The new collection is an expression of kinship and love, of emotional and geographical dislocation. It explores environmental concerns, the restraints of the pandemic for those on the cusp of adulthood,

empowerment, loss & healing delivered with Tori’s trademark urgency and passion. Ocean to Ocean is out digitally everywhere and can be purchased as a CD or a beautiful vinyl package here.

Amos recently released her new graphic novel Little Earthquakes: The Graphic Album, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of her breakthrough album, Little Earthquakes. Released in partnership with Z2 Comics, the project is a sequel to her first graphic novel, Comic Book Tattoo. The book demonstrates the lasting influence of Amos’ debut album, which established her iconic thematic voice, as well as her live intensity behind the keys, with unflinching lyrics and songs that would inspire generations of artists and musicians. The graphic novel demonstrates her lasting influence with 24 stories inspired by the 12 songs on the album, as well as 12 ‘B-sides’ that accompanied the album. Copies are available for purchase here.

‘Tis the season to be wicked! “Broadway’s biggest blockbuster” (The New York Times) flies back to Miami

February 15 – March 5, 2023

Dorothea Green Theater – Ziff Ballet Opera House

 

Miami – December 20, 2022 – WICKED (@wicked_musical), Miami’s most popular musical, will make its anticipated return to Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County (@arshtcenter) from February 15 through March 5, 2023. The Broadway sensation WICKED looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another young woman, born with emerald-green skin, who is smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.”

With a thrilling score that includes the hits “Defying Gravity,” “Popular” and “For Good,” WICKED has been hailed by The New York Times as “the defining musical of the decade,” and by Time Magazine as “a magical Broadway musical with brains, heart, and courage.”  NBC Nightly News calls the hit musical “the most successful Broadway show ever.”

Now the 5th longest-running show in Broadway history, WICKED is the winner of over 100 international awards including the Grammy Award and three Tony Awards.  Since opening in 2003, WICKED has been performed in over 100 cities in 16 countries around the world (U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Japan, Germany, Holland, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, The Philippines, Mexico, Brazil, Switzerland and China) and has thus far been translated into six languages: Japanese, German, Dutch, Spanish, Korean and Portuguese. WICKED has been seen by over 60 million people worldwide and has amassed over $5 billion in global sales.

 

Based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, WICKED has music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, and a book by Winnie Holzman.  The production is directed by Tony Award winner Joe Mantello with musical staging by Tony Award winner Wayne Cilento.  WICKED is produced by Marc Platt, Universal Stage Productions, The Araca Group, Jon B.
