The Great White Way meets the City Beautiful this week when Artistic Voices presents Broadway in Miami, a one-night concert event blending live vocal performance with cinematic projection. The show will take place at Coral Gables Art Cinema on Thursday, November 6, beginning with a wine reception at 6:30 p.m. and followed by the concert at 7 p.m.
The evening promises an indulgent mix of Broadway classics and beloved American standards—from the golden eras of Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, and other legends—performed by a cast of South Florida’s rising vocal talents. Backed by immersive visuals projected onto the cinema’s screen, the program aims to create a seamless fusion of stage and screen, evoking both nostalgia and innovation in equal measure.
From Manhattan to Miracle Mile
The cast includes soprano Catherine Spitzer, tenor Edgar Abreu, soprano Amalia Rosales, baritone Ivan Conrad, soprano Roxana Triana, and pianist Matias Cuevas, each representing the new generation of crossover vocalists emerging from Miami’s conservatories and performance troupes.
Together, they will reinterpret iconic showtunes and jazz-era standards through a cinematic lens—a fitting approach for Coral Gables Art Cinema, known for expanding the definition of what can happen on a movie screen.
The performance builds on the growing local trend of hybrid arts programming, where visual and performing arts converge to produce experiences that are both accessible and immersive. By hosting Broadway in a movie theater, Artistic Voices blurs the boundary between concert and cinema, reflecting the multidisciplinary spirit driving Coral Gables’ evolving arts landscape.
A City Beautiful tradition of live culture
Broadway in Miami offers more than musical nostalgia—it’s part of a long local tradition of cultural cosmopolitanism. From chamber music at the Lowe Art Museum to summer jazz at the Coral Gables Congregation Church, the city continues to attract performers who seek to create refined yet welcoming spaces for the arts.
The Coral Gables Art Cinema, now entering its 15th year, has become a cornerstone of that mission. Its intimate size and technical quality make it ideal for small-ensemble concerts, where every note carries clearly and every expression can be seen. The collaboration with Artistic Voices extends that intimacy, turning the cinema into something closer to a Broadway cabaret.
Songs without boundaries
As the skyline grows flashier, events like Broadway in Miami anchor the region’s cultural calendar in timeless elegance. The show’s repertoire of standards reminds audiences that great music transcends geography—that Sinatra’s New York or Armstrong’s New Orleans can find resonance on Aragon Avenue.
It also underscores Coral Gables’ role as a regional arts nexus, bridging fine art, theater, and film with the sophistication that has long defined the City Beautiful. In an age of constant digital distraction, live performance—with real voices and unfiltered emotion—remains one of the purest forms of connection.
