• On October 28, 2023, IlluminArts and Vizcaya Museum and Gardens presented their fourth collaboration, Songs of the Night, a dazzling concert of music inspired by the beauty and mystery of Vizcaya. The concert On October 28, 2023, IlluminArts and Vizcaya Museum and Gardens presented 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.

• On March 10, 2024, IlluminArts and Oolite Arts presented their sixth annual collaboration, a musical performance inspired by "Amidst Twin Suns," a new exhibition by Oolite Arts resident artist Alberto Checa. On March 10, 2024, IlluminArts and Oolite Arts presented their sixth annual collaboration, a musical performance inspired by "Amidst Twin Suns," a new exhibition by Oolite Arts resident artist Alberto Checa. Checa moved from Cuba to Miami with his mother in 2008 where they lived for years in efficiency apartments as his mother performed back-breaking factory work to make ends meet. "Amidst Twin Suns" is both a labor of love and an exploration of labor, where Checa empathizes with his mother and critiques the American economic system and working class Latinos' relationship to it through art and performance. This musical performance, titled "Nice Work If You Can Get It," took audiences on a deep dive into the themes of love and labor that Checa's art explores. Acclaimed bass-baritone Jamal Moore, who, in addition to his work in the operatic and choral worlds, is a frequent collaborator with artists like Beyoncé, Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, took center stage to perform a collection of deeply moving spirituals set by Harry T. Burleigh alongside lush and captivating works of Margaret Bonds, George Gershwin and more. In addition, the Amernet String Quartet and clarinetist Kelsey Gallagher presented music from Frederic Rzewski and the world-premiere of a stunning new piece for String Quartet and Electronics from GRAMMY Award-nominated violinist and composer Curtis Stewart. Pictures of Checa's artwork were projected throughout this performance. There was also a conversation between the artist and Chad Goodman, IlluminArts' Artistic Director at the beginning of the performance.
