Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden for two weeks of incredible music and beautiful art in a magnificent setting.
Throughout the Festival week, visitors to Fairchild will be treated
to chamber music through open, outdoor rehearsals and surprise concerts
during the day. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet and engage
the musicians, experiencing music on an intimate and personal level.
The four subscription concerts will feature many musical genres, from Schubert to Mumford & Sons!
GardenMusic’s musical programs are developed by Teddy Abrams,
Harrison Hollingsworth and Johnny Teyssier, the members of the Sixth
Floor Trio, who met while studying at the Curtis Institute of Music.
The extensive educational programming is developed by Gabriel
Globus-Hoenich.
Join us at www.GardenMusicFestival.com or follow us on Facebook and Twitter for behind-the-scenes footage and the latest updates on the exciting events that will take place throughout the festival!
The mission of Fairchild GardenMusic is to bring the highest-quality
and most exciting chamber music to South Florida, to create a powerfully
immersive experience for visitors to Fairchild that will connect music
with the garden space and other artistic disciplines to foster the
collaborative and creative spirit between musicians and artists in other
genres, and to provide engaging and stimulating educational
opportunities for young people at Fairchild.
Subscription Concert Dates:
Opening Night Concert, Thursday, January 9, 2014 at 7:00PM
The Opening Concert will primarily feature the Sixth Floor Trio with
additional artists in residence at GardenMusic. Come join us for an
exhilarating evening of music including original works by members of the
Sixth Floor Trio, traditional folk music, selections of classic works
such as Schubert's Death and the Maiden and Brahms' Piano Quartet No.1,
and current popular works.
Saturday, January 11, 2014 at 7:00PM "Stories Told Through Music"
Great music often takes us on a journey. Come be carried away by
beautiful arias, a Chausson string quartet, and tales woven in the
voices of Schubert, Stravinsky, Shostakovich, John Adams, and more.
Tuesday, January 14, 2014 at 7:00PM "The Edge: Music that pushed the boundaries of its time"
Many of the great works we now consider to be standards caused riots
and scandals in their time. Revisit the works that propelled music into
new territory; from ancient African drumming and early experiments with
notation, or the cutting-edge works of Bach and Beethoven, to music
that prompts us to examine tonality and the boundaries of different
artistic mediums.
Finale, Sunday, January 19, 2014 at 7:00PM "A Jazzy Night"
The sounds of jazz can be found infiltrating other genres in
unexpected ways. Jazz and Latin musicians join the resident GardenMusic
artists for a Miami night of jazz and a nod to composers such as Bela
Bartok and Maurice Ravel who were profoundly influenced by the sounds of
their time.

varieties and directions for growing the mango in the Americas.

of them all. Mangos in every culinary creation, work of art and on every
flat surface. Visit the festival to shop
