Dear friend
An important recognition today of one of our great thinkers who spent his life working toward a better world. In honor of Martin Luther King, today we want to share with you two of the biggest stars of Harlem, Duke Ellington and his main composer Billy Strathorn, coming together here to play the piano duet Tonk.
This selection exemplifies the Dranoff2 season this year. Celebrating classically trained musicians. Celebrating two of the biggest stars of Black African heritage. Celebrating an amazing queer composer and performer of the jazz era. "The Full Spectrum of Light".
Next month’s concert "From Russia with Love" at the Aventura Culture Center is only a few weeks away. It will be marvelous in a very different way. I hope you join us on February 22.
Have a wonderful week.
Warmly,
Gabriele Fiorentino
