Merce Weekend
This weekend is probably the peak of the season. Get your butt out there and do something… but bring an umbrella just in case. Weather looks like it’ll be gradually cooling off, but possibly rainy.
- It’s the final weekend of Merce in Miami, and it concludes with the spectacular Ocean. Read here, and purchase tickets for performances, tonight and Saturday, here.
- Also the last weekend of Subtropics. Tonight: FIU’s surprisingly excellent New Music Ensemble (7pm) and Indeterminancy Too — stories and anecdotes about John Cage from artists who knew and worked with him (9:30pm). Then Fluxus Day all day Saturday, and Sunday, a 14 hour (10am – midnight) performance of Vexations (x 1/2) by Erik Satie. Read Lawrence Johnson’s piece on Subtropics in the Herald.
- The 62nd Miami International Orchid Show.
- And as if all that wasn’t enough, it’s the opening weekend of the Miami International Film Festival.
- Bob Marley Movement of Jah People festival, Saturday. Old school reggae 1pm to midnight.
- Wow, more: it’s the opening weekend of the International Tropical Baroque Music Festival.
- Believe it or not, the Harlem Globe
