Susana Behar: Imagining the Soundtrack of Charles Deering's World
Dec 21, 2025
From: 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM
A musical portrait shaped by travel, memory and imagination unfolds at the Deering Estate through the work of Artist-in-Residence Susana Behar.
Imagining the Soundtrack of Charles Deering’s World explores the life and journeys of Charles Deering, envisioning the sounds that may have accompanied his global travels and long connection to Florida. Drawing from diverse musical traditions and cultural influences, Behar constructs an original program that reflects Deering’s curiosity, artistic sensibility and appreciation for place.
The concert features Susana Behar on voice, joined by Michel Gonzalez (guitar), Adolfo Herrera (percussion), Magela Herrera (flute) and Elvis Martinez (bass). Together, the ensemble creates a layered, atmospheric performance that blends music, history and storytelling into a reflective listening experience.
The performance takes place Sunday, December 2, inside the Visitor Center Theater at the Deering Estate, with a reception following the concert. Set within one of Miami-Dade County’s designated Heritage Parks, the evening offers an intimate way to engage with the estate’s cultural legacy through sound.
Tickets are $30. Cultural arts programming at the Deering Estate is supported by the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners, and The Deering Estate Foundation, Inc.
