This event has passed.
Experience a vibrant Afrofuturistic take on Rodgers and Hammerstein's classic musical The Sound of Music on Friday, October 20 when the Arsht Center presents the critically-acclaimed one-act concert The Sound of (Black) Music. Directed by Shariffa Ali and Kamilah Long, with arrangements by Mathis Picard and music direction by Vuyo Sotashe, The Sound of (Black) Music features classic songs such as “Do-Re-Mi,” “Edelweiss” and “Climb Ev’ry Mountain” recast through a Black roots-music kaleidoscope of jazz, gospel, blues, soul, funk and Afrobeat.
The concert features some of today’s most talented Black musicians that include vocalists Vuyo Sotashe, Brianna Thomas, Charenee Wade, Alexis Lombre and Zhanna Reed supported by an electrifying band.
