The South Florida Symphony Orchestra has announced three performances of a groundbreaking new production of the Gershwin’s great American opera Porgy and Bess. The staging will be directed by famed Broadway producer\/director Richard Jay-Alexander<\/a> and SFSO’s acclaimed music-director Maestro Sebrina Maria Alfonso will conduct the 70 piece South Florida Symphony Orchestra with set design by award-winning designer Paul Tate<\/a> DePoo. The new adaption, featuring an all-star black cast will be presented in three performances: Wednesday, January 16 at the Adrienne Arsht<\/a> Center’s Knight Concert Hall in Miami; Saturday, January 19 at the Tennessee Williams<\/a> Theater in Key West; and concluding Wednesday, January 23 at the Au-Rene Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Ft. Lauderdale, with a season gala event in celebration of the SFSO’s 21st anniversary.<\/p>\nNeil Nelson as Porgy and Brandie Sutton<\/a> as Bess lead an all-star cast that includes Jermaine Smith<\/a> – Sportin’ Life, Kyaunnee Richardson – Clara, Simone Paulwell – Serena, Eric Heatley – Jake and Gwendolyn Brown<\/a> as Maria.<\/p>\nIn commenting, Stage Director Richard Jay-Alexander<\/a> stated: “Porgy and Bess is an American treasure. The original Gershwin Heywood all-star black cast of classically trained singers was revolutionary when it debuted in 1935 and has proven to be one of the most groundbreaking and enduring stories of the human condition. I am excited to be working with the South Florida Symphony Orchestra in bringing this incredible new adaption to South Florida.”<\/p>\nIn commenting: Maestra Sebrina Maria Alfonso stated: “Since starting the South Florida Symphony in 1997, it was my hope to someday present Porgy and Bess to our community. It is a tour de force and a one of a kind classic that not only crosses musical lines but has broken social barriers. Conducting the Gershwin’s magnificent score with our 70-piece orchestra is truly a dream come true.”<\/p>\n
In commenting SFSO President and CEO Jacqueline Lorber stated: “Porgy and Bess is the most highly anticipated feature presentation of our season. We are excited to bring this iconic American opera to our South Florida audiences in three magnificent performances as we celebrate our 21st anniversary.”<\/p>\n
It is a rare opportunity to be able to see and hear the American masterpiece Porgy and Bess. It is universally recognized as one of the greatest creative works this country has ever produced. But that opportunity is now a reality, due to the commitment of the South Florida Symphony Orchestra, with an exciting cast and a full 70-piece orchestra, in all their glory, under the masterful baton of Maestra Sebrina Mar\u00eda Alfonso.<\/p>\n
Porgy and Bess was written by American composer George Gershwin<\/a>, with a libretto by author DuBose Heyward<\/a> and lyricist Ira Gershwin<\/a>. It was adapted from Dorothy Heyward<\/a> and DuBose Heyward<\/a>‘s play “Porgy,” an adaptation of DuBose Heyward<\/a>‘s 1925 novel of the same name.<\/p>\nPorgy and Bess is considered by critics the most important American opera of the 20th century. Gershwin’s masterwork has gained popularity over generations, boasting some of the most beautiful songs ever written, including known classics and standards, such as “Summertime,” “I Got Plenty O’ Nuttin’,” “I Loves You, Porgy,” “Bess, You Is My Woman Now” and “It Ain’t Necessarily So.”<\/p>\n
Like many great American cultural works, Porgy and Bess sprang out of the soil that created jazz, with its unique hymns, rhythms, field calls, blues, revival shouts and spiritual soul. Gershwin worked passionately to create a one-of-a-kind classic, which ended up crossing musical lines, creating something that had never been done before. Whether referred to as an opera, a folk opera or a musical, it is surely a theatrical masterpiece and rarely done because it is such an ambitious undertaking. For that very reason, the well-established symphony reached out to Broadway veteran, Richard Jay-Alexander<\/a>, to bring it to the stage in a very special way. The entire orchestra and cast will share the stage in what is sure to be an exciting evening’s entertainment, telling an enthralling story, drawing us into the human condition.<\/p>\nThe Gershwin-Heyward collaboration originally featured an all-black cast of classically trained singers-revolutionary casting in 1930s America. First performed in 1935, in Boston, at the time it received mixed reviews. Many people couldn’t quite come to terms with its Catfish Row subject matter combined with outstanding vocalists and sophisticated music. As everyone wondered what to label such a revolutionary work, with recitatives and arias, it is still argued today, by scholars, yet beloved and admired by all. Just a few seasons ago, a new revival was reinterpreted and staged on Broadway, by director Diane Paulus<\/a>, starring Norm Lewis<\/a> and Audra McDonald<\/a>. It won a Tony Award for Best Revival. It has proven to be an enduring treasure and tour de force for orchestras and casts alike.<\/p>\nRising above controversy, Porgy and Bess has broken the barriers of time and social limitations, valued today by what it represents in its essence: a real story “spoken” in beautiful music, that everyone can enjoy, relate to and still learn from.<\/p>\n

Miami, 13 abr (EFE).- El joven y premiado pianista cubano Aldo L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que este s\u00e1bado se presentar\u00e1 en Miami junto a la Orquesta Sinf\u00f3nica del Sur de Florida, afirma en una entrevista con Efe que a un m\u00fasico el “ambiente le influye tanto o m\u00e1s que cualquier habilidad o don que uno tenga” para este arte.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, de 38 a\u00f1os, pertenece a la tercera generaci\u00f3n de m\u00fasicos en su familia y salvo por un “fugaz” inter\u00e9s por la actuaci\u00f3n cuando era adolescente, siempre ha sabido que la m\u00fasica es lo suyo y no solo para interpretar, pues tambi\u00e9n es compositor.<\/p>\n
“Algo musical tengo en los genes”, dice.<\/p>\n
La Orquesta Sinf\u00f3nica del Sur de Florida, dirigida por Sebrina Alfonso, de origen cubano aunque nacida y criada en los Cayos de la Florida, le ha invitado a interpretar como solista el Concierto en Sol mayor para piano y orquesta, de Maurice Ravel, en la temporada de su vig\u00e9simo aniversario.<\/p>\n
El programa del Adrien Arsht Center incluye tambi\u00e9n la Sinfon\u00eda Fant\u00e1stica de Hector Berlioz a cargo de la orquesta floridana y la pieza “If You Will It, It Is No Dream”, de Nimrod Borenstein.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que como pianista se mueve como pez en el agua tanto en la m\u00fasica cl\u00e1sica como en el jazz, se\u00f1ala, sin embargo, que “obviamente” como m\u00e1s a gusto se siente es tocando su propia m\u00fasica.<\/p>\n
“El Concierto en Sol mayor de Ravel me gusta mucho, Ravel fue un innovador de la m\u00fasica y en esa obra apunta algunos ‘gui\u00f1os’ al jazz”, dice el pianista, calificado por el diario The Times de Londres como un “notable virtuoso” del instrumento de cuerda.<\/p>\n
Seg\u00fan cuenta, Ravel y George Gershwin se conocieron y el franc\u00e9s hace gui\u00f1os en su concierto para piano y orquesta a la “Rhapsody in Blue” del estadounidense. En una ocasi\u00f3n en Michigan L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n toc\u00f3 ambas obras para mostrar a la audiencia sus conexiones.<\/p>\n
Su preferida es la m\u00fasica de comienzos del siglo XX, “una etapa genial que tuvo la cultura”, se\u00f1ala.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que reside en La Habana y ha recorrido el mundo con su m\u00fasica, asegura que Cuba es un pa\u00eds especial para la m\u00fasica, pero no solo por el talento natural para ese arte de sus ciudadanos, sino por el “alto nivel” de la pedagog\u00eda musical en ese pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n
Su madre, Teresita Junco, ya fallecida, fue pianista y reconocida profesora de piano, y su padre, Guido L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, es director de orquesta y compositor.<\/p>\n
Su abuelo materno fue clarinetista profesional y su hermano mayor, Ilmar, primer viol\u00edn del Harlem Quartet, formaci\u00f3n que tambi\u00e9n compagina la m\u00fasica cl\u00e1sica y el jazz y con la que tocar\u00e1 este a\u00f1o en Washington.<\/p>\n
Tambi\u00e9n en Washington, L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n ser\u00e1 uno de los representantes de la cultura cubana que, capitaneados por la cantante Omara Portunondo, desembarcar\u00e1n en el Kennedy Center en mayo para un festival de dos semanas.<\/p>\n
El pianista se muestra ilusionado porque a pesar de que las relaciones entre Cuba y Estados Unidos no est\u00e1n en su mejor momento “se haya podido lograr esto” y las relaciones art\u00edsticas florezcan.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que gan\u00f3 su primer premio como pianista a los once a\u00f1os, el Danny Kaye International Children’s Award, ha actuado en escenarios como el Carnegie Hall y el Lincoln Center de Nueva York, el Auditorio de la Universidad Nacional de Bogot\u00e1, el Rozsa Centre de Canad\u00e1, el Smith Center en Las Vegas y el Chamber Music Society of Detroit.<\/p>\n
En 2006, el ya fallecido director de orquesta Claudio Abbado le invit\u00f3 a ser solista en un concierto especial con la Orquesta Joven Sim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar de Venezuela con motivo del 250 aniversario del nacimiento de Mozart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The South Florida Symphony Orchestra has announced three performances of a groundbreaking new production of the Gershwin’s great American opera Porgy and Bess. The staging will be directed by famed Broadway producer\/director Richard Jay-Alexander<\/a> and SFSO’s acclaimed music-director Maestro Sebrina Maria Alfonso will conduct the 70 piece South Florida Symphony Orchestra with set design by award-winning designer Paul Tate<\/a> DePoo. The new adaption, featuring an all-star black cast will be presented in three performances: Wednesday, January 16 at the Adrienne Arsht<\/a> Center’s Knight Concert Hall in Miami; Saturday, January 19 at the Tennessee Williams<\/a> Theater in Key West; and concluding Wednesday, January 23 at the Au-Rene Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Ft. Lauderdale, with a season gala event in celebration of the SFSO’s 21st anniversary.<\/p>\nNeil Nelson as Porgy and Brandie Sutton<\/a> as Bess lead an all-star cast that includes Jermaine Smith<\/a> – Sportin’ Life, Kyaunnee Richardson – Clara, Simone Paulwell – Serena, Eric Heatley – Jake and Gwendolyn Brown<\/a> as Maria.<\/p>\nIn commenting, Stage Director Richard Jay-Alexander<\/a> stated: “Porgy and Bess is an American treasure. The original Gershwin Heywood all-star black cast of classically trained singers was revolutionary when it debuted in 1935 and has proven to be one of the most groundbreaking and enduring stories of the human condition. I am excited to be working with the South Florida Symphony Orchestra in bringing this incredible new adaption to South Florida.”<\/p>\nIn commenting: Maestra Sebrina Maria Alfonso stated: “Since starting the South Florida Symphony in 1997, it was my hope to someday present Porgy and Bess to our community. It is a tour de force and a one of a kind classic that not only crosses musical lines but has broken social barriers. Conducting the Gershwin’s magnificent score with our 70-piece orchestra is truly a dream come true.”<\/p>\n
In commenting SFSO President and CEO Jacqueline Lorber stated: “Porgy and Bess is the most highly anticipated feature presentation of our season. We are excited to bring this iconic American opera to our South Florida audiences in three magnificent performances as we celebrate our 21st anniversary.”<\/p>\n
It is a rare opportunity to be able to see and hear the American masterpiece Porgy and Bess. It is universally recognized as one of the greatest creative works this country has ever produced. But that opportunity is now a reality, due to the commitment of the South Florida Symphony Orchestra, with an exciting cast and a full 70-piece orchestra, in all their glory, under the masterful baton of Maestra Sebrina Mar\u00eda Alfonso.<\/p>\n
Porgy and Bess was written by American composer George Gershwin<\/a>, with a libretto by author DuBose Heyward<\/a> and lyricist Ira Gershwin<\/a>. It was adapted from Dorothy Heyward<\/a> and DuBose Heyward<\/a>‘s play “Porgy,” an adaptation of DuBose Heyward<\/a>‘s 1925 novel of the same name.<\/p>\nPorgy and Bess is considered by critics the most important American opera of the 20th century. Gershwin’s masterwork has gained popularity over generations, boasting some of the most beautiful songs ever written, including known classics and standards, such as “Summertime,” “I Got Plenty O’ Nuttin’,” “I Loves You, Porgy,” “Bess, You Is My Woman Now” and “It Ain’t Necessarily So.”<\/p>\n
Like many great American cultural works, Porgy and Bess sprang out of the soil that created jazz, with its unique hymns, rhythms, field calls, blues, revival shouts and spiritual soul. Gershwin worked passionately to create a one-of-a-kind classic, which ended up crossing musical lines, creating something that had never been done before. Whether referred to as an opera, a folk opera or a musical, it is surely a theatrical masterpiece and rarely done because it is such an ambitious undertaking. For that very reason, the well-established symphony reached out to Broadway veteran, Richard Jay-Alexander<\/a>, to bring it to the stage in a very special way. The entire orchestra and cast will share the stage in what is sure to be an exciting evening’s entertainment, telling an enthralling story, drawing us into the human condition.<\/p>\nThe Gershwin-Heyward collaboration originally featured an all-black cast of classically trained singers-revolutionary casting in 1930s America. First performed in 1935, in Boston, at the time it received mixed reviews. Many people couldn’t quite come to terms with its Catfish Row subject matter combined with outstanding vocalists and sophisticated music. As everyone wondered what to label such a revolutionary work, with recitatives and arias, it is still argued today, by scholars, yet beloved and admired by all. Just a few seasons ago, a new revival was reinterpreted and staged on Broadway, by director Diane Paulus<\/a>, starring Norm Lewis<\/a> and Audra McDonald<\/a>. It won a Tony Award for Best Revival. It has proven to be an enduring treasure and tour de force for orchestras and casts alike.<\/p>\nRising above controversy, Porgy and Bess has broken the barriers of time and social limitations, valued today by what it represents in its essence: a real story “spoken” in beautiful music, that everyone can enjoy, relate to and still learn from.<\/p>\n

Miami, 13 abr (EFE).- El joven y premiado pianista cubano Aldo L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que este s\u00e1bado se presentar\u00e1 en Miami junto a la Orquesta Sinf\u00f3nica del Sur de Florida, afirma en una entrevista con Efe que a un m\u00fasico el “ambiente le influye tanto o m\u00e1s que cualquier habilidad o don que uno tenga” para este arte.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, de 38 a\u00f1os, pertenece a la tercera generaci\u00f3n de m\u00fasicos en su familia y salvo por un “fugaz” inter\u00e9s por la actuaci\u00f3n cuando era adolescente, siempre ha sabido que la m\u00fasica es lo suyo y no solo para interpretar, pues tambi\u00e9n es compositor.<\/p>\n
“Algo musical tengo en los genes”, dice.<\/p>\n
La Orquesta Sinf\u00f3nica del Sur de Florida, dirigida por Sebrina Alfonso, de origen cubano aunque nacida y criada en los Cayos de la Florida, le ha invitado a interpretar como solista el Concierto en Sol mayor para piano y orquesta, de Maurice Ravel, en la temporada de su vig\u00e9simo aniversario.<\/p>\n
El programa del Adrien Arsht Center incluye tambi\u00e9n la Sinfon\u00eda Fant\u00e1stica de Hector Berlioz a cargo de la orquesta floridana y la pieza “If You Will It, It Is No Dream”, de Nimrod Borenstein.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que como pianista se mueve como pez en el agua tanto en la m\u00fasica cl\u00e1sica como en el jazz, se\u00f1ala, sin embargo, que “obviamente” como m\u00e1s a gusto se siente es tocando su propia m\u00fasica.<\/p>\n
“El Concierto en Sol mayor de Ravel me gusta mucho, Ravel fue un innovador de la m\u00fasica y en esa obra apunta algunos ‘gui\u00f1os’ al jazz”, dice el pianista, calificado por el diario The Times de Londres como un “notable virtuoso” del instrumento de cuerda.<\/p>\n
Seg\u00fan cuenta, Ravel y George Gershwin se conocieron y el franc\u00e9s hace gui\u00f1os en su concierto para piano y orquesta a la “Rhapsody in Blue” del estadounidense. En una ocasi\u00f3n en Michigan L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n toc\u00f3 ambas obras para mostrar a la audiencia sus conexiones.<\/p>\n
Su preferida es la m\u00fasica de comienzos del siglo XX, “una etapa genial que tuvo la cultura”, se\u00f1ala.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que reside en La Habana y ha recorrido el mundo con su m\u00fasica, asegura que Cuba es un pa\u00eds especial para la m\u00fasica, pero no solo por el talento natural para ese arte de sus ciudadanos, sino por el “alto nivel” de la pedagog\u00eda musical en ese pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n
Su madre, Teresita Junco, ya fallecida, fue pianista y reconocida profesora de piano, y su padre, Guido L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, es director de orquesta y compositor.<\/p>\n
Su abuelo materno fue clarinetista profesional y su hermano mayor, Ilmar, primer viol\u00edn del Harlem Quartet, formaci\u00f3n que tambi\u00e9n compagina la m\u00fasica cl\u00e1sica y el jazz y con la que tocar\u00e1 este a\u00f1o en Washington.<\/p>\n
Tambi\u00e9n en Washington, L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n ser\u00e1 uno de los representantes de la cultura cubana que, capitaneados por la cantante Omara Portunondo, desembarcar\u00e1n en el Kennedy Center en mayo para un festival de dos semanas.<\/p>\n
El pianista se muestra ilusionado porque a pesar de que las relaciones entre Cuba y Estados Unidos no est\u00e1n en su mejor momento “se haya podido lograr esto” y las relaciones art\u00edsticas florezcan.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que gan\u00f3 su primer premio como pianista a los once a\u00f1os, el Danny Kaye International Children’s Award, ha actuado en escenarios como el Carnegie Hall y el Lincoln Center de Nueva York, el Auditorio de la Universidad Nacional de Bogot\u00e1, el Rozsa Centre de Canad\u00e1, el Smith Center en Las Vegas y el Chamber Music Society of Detroit.<\/p>\n
En 2006, el ya fallecido director de orquesta Claudio Abbado le invit\u00f3 a ser solista en un concierto especial con la Orquesta Joven Sim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar de Venezuela con motivo del 250 aniversario del nacimiento de Mozart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

We are excited to bring this iconic American opera to our South Florida audiences in three magnificent performances as we celebrate our 21st anniversary.”<\/p>\n
It is a rare opportunity to be able to see and hear the American masterpiece Porgy and Bess. It is universally recognized as one of the greatest creative works this country has ever produced. But that opportunity is now a reality, due to the commitment of the South Florida Symphony Orchestra, with an exciting cast and a full 70-piece orchestra, in all their glory, under the masterful baton of Maestra Sebrina Mar\u00eda Alfonso.<\/p>\n
Porgy and Bess was written by American composer George Gershwin<\/a>, with a libretto by author DuBose Heyward<\/a> and lyricist Ira Gershwin<\/a>. It was adapted from Dorothy Heyward<\/a> and DuBose Heyward<\/a>‘s play “Porgy,” an adaptation of DuBose Heyward<\/a>‘s 1925 novel of the same name.<\/p>\nPorgy and Bess is considered by critics the most important American opera of the 20th century. Gershwin’s masterwork has gained popularity over generations, boasting some of the most beautiful songs ever written, including known classics and standards, such as “Summertime,” “I Got Plenty O’ Nuttin’,” “I Loves You, Porgy,” “Bess, You Is My Woman Now” and “It Ain’t Necessarily So.”<\/p>\n
Like many great American cultural works, Porgy and Bess sprang out of the soil that created jazz, with its unique hymns, rhythms, field calls, blues, revival shouts and spiritual soul. Gershwin worked passionately to create a one-of-a-kind classic, which ended up crossing musical lines, creating something that had never been done before. Whether referred to as an opera, a folk opera or a musical, it is surely a theatrical masterpiece and rarely done because it is such an ambitious undertaking. For that very reason, the well-established symphony reached out to Broadway veteran, Richard Jay-Alexander<\/a>, to bring it to the stage in a very special way. The entire orchestra and cast will share the stage in what is sure to be an exciting evening’s entertainment, telling an enthralling story, drawing us into the human condition.<\/p>\nThe Gershwin-Heyward collaboration originally featured an all-black cast of classically trained singers-revolutionary casting in 1930s America. First performed in 1935, in Boston, at the time it received mixed reviews. Many people couldn’t quite come to terms with its Catfish Row subject matter combined with outstanding vocalists and sophisticated music. As everyone wondered what to label such a revolutionary work, with recitatives and arias, it is still argued today, by scholars, yet beloved and admired by all. Just a few seasons ago, a new revival was reinterpreted and staged on Broadway, by director Diane Paulus<\/a>, starring Norm Lewis<\/a> and Audra McDonald<\/a>. It won a Tony Award for Best Revival. It has proven to be an enduring treasure and tour de force for orchestras and casts alike.<\/p>\nRising above controversy, Porgy and Bess has broken the barriers of time and social limitations, valued today by what it represents in its essence: a real story “spoken” in beautiful music, that everyone can enjoy, relate to and still learn from.<\/p>\n

Miami, 13 abr (EFE).- El joven y premiado pianista cubano Aldo L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que este s\u00e1bado se presentar\u00e1 en Miami junto a la Orquesta Sinf\u00f3nica del Sur de Florida, afirma en una entrevista con Efe que a un m\u00fasico el “ambiente le influye tanto o m\u00e1s que cualquier habilidad o don que uno tenga” para este arte.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, de 38 a\u00f1os, pertenece a la tercera generaci\u00f3n de m\u00fasicos en su familia y salvo por un “fugaz” inter\u00e9s por la actuaci\u00f3n cuando era adolescente, siempre ha sabido que la m\u00fasica es lo suyo y no solo para interpretar, pues tambi\u00e9n es compositor.<\/p>\n
“Algo musical tengo en los genes”, dice.<\/p>\n
La Orquesta Sinf\u00f3nica del Sur de Florida, dirigida por Sebrina Alfonso, de origen cubano aunque nacida y criada en los Cayos de la Florida, le ha invitado a interpretar como solista el Concierto en Sol mayor para piano y orquesta, de Maurice Ravel, en la temporada de su vig\u00e9simo aniversario.<\/p>\n
El programa del Adrien Arsht Center incluye tambi\u00e9n la Sinfon\u00eda Fant\u00e1stica de Hector Berlioz a cargo de la orquesta floridana y la pieza “If You Will It, It Is No Dream”, de Nimrod Borenstein.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que como pianista se mueve como pez en el agua tanto en la m\u00fasica cl\u00e1sica como en el jazz, se\u00f1ala, sin embargo, que “obviamente” como m\u00e1s a gusto se siente es tocando su propia m\u00fasica.<\/p>\n
“El Concierto en Sol mayor de Ravel me gusta mucho, Ravel fue un innovador de la m\u00fasica y en esa obra apunta algunos ‘gui\u00f1os’ al jazz”, dice el pianista, calificado por el diario The Times de Londres como un “notable virtuoso” del instrumento de cuerda.<\/p>\n
Seg\u00fan cuenta, Ravel y George Gershwin se conocieron y el franc\u00e9s hace gui\u00f1os en su concierto para piano y orquesta a la “Rhapsody in Blue” del estadounidense. En una ocasi\u00f3n en Michigan L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n toc\u00f3 ambas obras para mostrar a la audiencia sus conexiones.<\/p>\n
Su preferida es la m\u00fasica de comienzos del siglo XX, “una etapa genial que tuvo la cultura”, se\u00f1ala.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que reside en La Habana y ha recorrido el mundo con su m\u00fasica, asegura que Cuba es un pa\u00eds especial para la m\u00fasica, pero no solo por el talento natural para ese arte de sus ciudadanos, sino por el “alto nivel” de la pedagog\u00eda musical en ese pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n
Su madre, Teresita Junco, ya fallecida, fue pianista y reconocida profesora de piano, y su padre, Guido L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, es director de orquesta y compositor.<\/p>\n
Su abuelo materno fue clarinetista profesional y su hermano mayor, Ilmar, primer viol\u00edn del Harlem Quartet, formaci\u00f3n que tambi\u00e9n compagina la m\u00fasica cl\u00e1sica y el jazz y con la que tocar\u00e1 este a\u00f1o en Washington.<\/p>\n
Tambi\u00e9n en Washington, L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n ser\u00e1 uno de los representantes de la cultura cubana que, capitaneados por la cantante Omara Portunondo, desembarcar\u00e1n en el Kennedy Center en mayo para un festival de dos semanas.<\/p>\n
El pianista se muestra ilusionado porque a pesar de que las relaciones entre Cuba y Estados Unidos no est\u00e1n en su mejor momento “se haya podido lograr esto” y las relaciones art\u00edsticas florezcan.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que gan\u00f3 su primer premio como pianista a los once a\u00f1os, el Danny Kaye International Children’s Award, ha actuado en escenarios como el Carnegie Hall y el Lincoln Center de Nueva York, el Auditorio de la Universidad Nacional de Bogot\u00e1, el Rozsa Centre de Canad\u00e1, el Smith Center en Las Vegas y el Chamber Music Society of Detroit.<\/p>\n
En 2006, el ya fallecido director de orquesta Claudio Abbado le invit\u00f3 a ser solista en un concierto especial con la Orquesta Joven Sim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar de Venezuela con motivo del 250 aniversario del nacimiento de Mozart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The South Florida Symphony Orchestra has announced three performances of a groundbreaking new production of the Gershwin’s great American opera Porgy and Bess. The staging will be directed by famed Broadway producer\/director Richard Jay-Alexander<\/a> and SFSO’s acclaimed music-director Maestro Sebrina Maria Alfonso will conduct the 70 piece South Florida Symphony Orchestra with set design by award-winning designer Paul Tate<\/a> DePoo. The new adaption, featuring an all-star black cast will be presented in three performances: Wednesday, January 16 at the Adrienne Arsht<\/a> Center’s Knight Concert Hall in Miami; Saturday, January 19 at the Tennessee Williams<\/a> Theater in Key West; and concluding Wednesday, January 23 at the Au-Rene Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Ft. Lauderdale, with a season gala event in celebration of the SFSO’s 21st anniversary.<\/p>\nNeil Nelson as Porgy and Brandie Sutton<\/a> as Bess lead an all-star cast that includes Jermaine Smith<\/a> – Sportin’ Life, Kyaunnee Richardson – Clara, Simone Paulwell – Serena, Eric Heatley – Jake and Gwendolyn Brown<\/a> as Maria.<\/p>\nIn commenting, Stage Director Richard Jay-Alexander<\/a> stated: “Porgy and Bess is an American treasure. The original Gershwin Heywood all-star black cast of classically trained singers was revolutionary when it debuted in 1935 and has proven to be one of the most groundbreaking and enduring stories of the human condition. I am excited to be working with the South Florida Symphony Orchestra in bringing this incredible new adaption to South Florida.”<\/p>\nIn commenting: Maestra Sebrina Maria Alfonso stated: “Since starting the South Florida Symphony in 1997, it was my hope to someday present Porgy and Bess to our community. It is a tour de force and a one of a kind classic that not only crosses musical lines but has broken social barriers. Conducting the Gershwin’s magnificent score with our 70-piece orchestra is truly a dream come true.”<\/p>\n

Miami, 13 abr (EFE).- El joven y premiado pianista cubano Aldo L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que este s\u00e1bado se presentar\u00e1 en Miami junto a la Orquesta Sinf\u00f3nica del Sur de Florida, afirma en una entrevista con Efe que a un m\u00fasico el “ambiente le influye tanto o m\u00e1s que cualquier habilidad o don que uno tenga” para este arte.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, de 38 a\u00f1os, pertenece a la tercera generaci\u00f3n de m\u00fasicos en su familia y salvo por un “fugaz” inter\u00e9s por la actuaci\u00f3n cuando era adolescente, siempre ha sabido que la m\u00fasica es lo suyo y no solo para interpretar, pues tambi\u00e9n es compositor.<\/p>\n
“Algo musical tengo en los genes”, dice.<\/p>\n
La Orquesta Sinf\u00f3nica del Sur de Florida, dirigida por Sebrina Alfonso, de origen cubano aunque nacida y criada en los Cayos de la Florida, le ha invitado a interpretar como solista el Concierto en Sol mayor para piano y orquesta, de Maurice Ravel, en la temporada de su vig\u00e9simo aniversario.<\/p>\n
El programa del Adrien Arsht Center incluye tambi\u00e9n la Sinfon\u00eda Fant\u00e1stica de Hector Berlioz a cargo de la orquesta floridana y la pieza “If You Will It, It Is No Dream”, de Nimrod Borenstein.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que como pianista se mueve como pez en el agua tanto en la m\u00fasica cl\u00e1sica como en el jazz, se\u00f1ala, sin embargo, que “obviamente” como m\u00e1s a gusto se siente es tocando su propia m\u00fasica.<\/p>\n
“El Concierto en Sol mayor de Ravel me gusta mucho, Ravel fue un innovador de la m\u00fasica y en esa obra apunta algunos ‘gui\u00f1os’ al jazz”, dice el pianista, calificado por el diario The Times de Londres como un “notable virtuoso” del instrumento de cuerda.<\/p>\n
Seg\u00fan cuenta, Ravel y George Gershwin se conocieron y el franc\u00e9s hace gui\u00f1os en su concierto para piano y orquesta a la “Rhapsody in Blue” del estadounidense. En una ocasi\u00f3n en Michigan L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n toc\u00f3 ambas obras para mostrar a la audiencia sus conexiones.<\/p>\n
Su preferida es la m\u00fasica de comienzos del siglo XX, “una etapa genial que tuvo la cultura”, se\u00f1ala.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que reside en La Habana y ha recorrido el mundo con su m\u00fasica, asegura que Cuba es un pa\u00eds especial para la m\u00fasica, pero no solo por el talento natural para ese arte de sus ciudadanos, sino por el “alto nivel” de la pedagog\u00eda musical en ese pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n
Su madre, Teresita Junco, ya fallecida, fue pianista y reconocida profesora de piano, y su padre, Guido L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, es director de orquesta y compositor.<\/p>\n
Su abuelo materno fue clarinetista profesional y su hermano mayor, Ilmar, primer viol\u00edn del Harlem Quartet, formaci\u00f3n que tambi\u00e9n compagina la m\u00fasica cl\u00e1sica y el jazz y con la que tocar\u00e1 este a\u00f1o en Washington.<\/p>\n
Tambi\u00e9n en Washington, L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n ser\u00e1 uno de los representantes de la cultura cubana que, capitaneados por la cantante Omara Portunondo, desembarcar\u00e1n en el Kennedy Center en mayo para un festival de dos semanas.<\/p>\n
El pianista se muestra ilusionado porque a pesar de que las relaciones entre Cuba y Estados Unidos no est\u00e1n en su mejor momento “se haya podido lograr esto” y las relaciones art\u00edsticas florezcan.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que gan\u00f3 su primer premio como pianista a los once a\u00f1os, el Danny Kaye International Children’s Award, ha actuado en escenarios como el Carnegie Hall y el Lincoln Center de Nueva York, el Auditorio de la Universidad Nacional de Bogot\u00e1, el Rozsa Centre de Canad\u00e1, el Smith Center en Las Vegas y el Chamber Music Society of Detroit.<\/p>\n
En 2006, el ya fallecido director de orquesta Claudio Abbado le invit\u00f3 a ser solista en un concierto especial con la Orquesta Joven Sim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar de Venezuela con motivo del 250 aniversario del nacimiento de Mozart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The South Florida Symphony Orchestra has announced three performances of a groundbreaking new production of the Gershwin’s great American opera Porgy and Bess. The staging will be directed by famed Broadway producer\/director Richard Jay-Alexander<\/a> and SFSO’s acclaimed music-director Maestro Sebrina Maria Alfonso will conduct the 70 piece South Florida Symphony Orchestra with set design by award-winning designer Paul Tate<\/a> DePoo. The new adaption, featuring an all-star black cast will be presented in three performances: Wednesday, January 16 at the Adrienne Arsht<\/a> Center’s Knight Concert Hall in Miami; Saturday, January 19 at the Tennessee Williams<\/a> Theater in Key West; and concluding Wednesday, January 23 at the Au-Rene Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Ft. Lauderdale, with a season gala event in celebration of the SFSO’s 21st anniversary.<\/p>\nNeil Nelson as Porgy and Brandie Sutton<\/a> as Bess lead an all-star cast that includes Jermaine Smith<\/a> – Sportin’ Life, Kyaunnee Richardson – Clara, Simone Paulwell – Serena, Eric Heatley – Jake and Gwendolyn Brown<\/a> as Maria.<\/p>\nIn commenting, Stage Director Richard Jay-Alexander<\/a> stated: “Porgy and Bess is an American treasure. The original Gershwin Heywood all-star black cast of classically trained singers was revolutionary when it debuted in 1935 and has proven to be one of the most groundbreaking and enduring stories of the human condition. I am excited to be working with the South Florida Symphony Orchestra in bringing this incredible new adaption to South Florida.”<\/p>\nIn commenting: Maestra Sebrina Maria Alfonso stated: “Since starting the South Florida Symphony in 1997, it was my hope to someday present Porgy and Bess to our community. It is a tour de force and a one of a kind classic that not only crosses musical lines but has broken social barriers. Conducting the Gershwin’s magnificent score with our 70-piece orchestra is truly a dream come true.”<\/p>\n
In commenting SFSO President and CEO Jacqueline Lorber stated: “Porgy and Bess is the most highly anticipated feature presentation of our season. We are excited to bring this iconic American opera to our South Florida audiences in three magnificent performances as we celebrate our 21st anniversary.”<\/p>\n
It is a rare opportunity to be able to see and hear the American masterpiece Porgy and Bess. It is universally recognized as one of the greatest creative works this country has ever produced. But that opportunity is now a reality, due to the commitment of the South Florida Symphony Orchestra, with an exciting cast and a full 70-piece orchestra, in all their glory, under the masterful baton of Maestra Sebrina Mar\u00eda Alfonso.<\/p>\n
Porgy and Bess was written by American composer George Gershwin<\/a>, with a libretto by author DuBose Heyward<\/a> and lyricist Ira Gershwin<\/a>. It was adapted from Dorothy Heyward<\/a> and DuBose Heyward<\/a>‘s play “Porgy,” an adaptation of DuBose Heyward<\/a>‘s 1925 novel of the same name.<\/p>\nPorgy and Bess is considered by critics the most important American opera of the 20th century. Gershwin’s masterwork has gained popularity over generations, boasting some of the most beautiful songs ever written, including known classics and standards, such as “Summertime,” “I Got Plenty O’ Nuttin’,” “I Loves You, Porgy,” “Bess, You Is My Woman Now” and “It Ain’t Necessarily So.”<\/p>\n
Like many great American cultural works, Porgy and Bess sprang out of the soil that created jazz, with its unique hymns, rhythms, field calls, blues, revival shouts and spiritual soul. Gershwin worked passionately to create a one-of-a-kind classic, which ended up crossing musical lines, creating something that had never been done before. Whether referred to as an opera, a folk opera or a musical, it is surely a theatrical masterpiece and rarely done because it is such an ambitious undertaking. For that very reason, the well-established symphony reached out to Broadway veteran, Richard Jay-Alexander<\/a>, to bring it to the stage in a very special way. The entire orchestra and cast will share the stage in what is sure to be an exciting evening’s entertainment, telling an enthralling story, drawing us into the human condition.<\/p>\nThe Gershwin-Heyward collaboration originally featured an all-black cast of classically trained singers-revolutionary casting in 1930s America. First performed in 1935, in Boston, at the time it received mixed reviews. Many people couldn’t quite come to terms with its Catfish Row subject matter combined with outstanding vocalists and sophisticated music. As everyone wondered what to label such a revolutionary work, with recitatives and arias, it is still argued today, by scholars, yet beloved and admired by all. Just a few seasons ago, a new revival was reinterpreted and staged on Broadway, by director Diane Paulus<\/a>, starring Norm Lewis<\/a> and Audra McDonald<\/a>. It won a Tony Award for Best Revival. It has proven to be an enduring treasure and tour de force for orchestras and casts alike.<\/p>\nRising above controversy, Porgy and Bess has broken the barriers of time and social limitations, valued today by what it represents in its essence: a real story “spoken” in beautiful music, that everyone can enjoy, relate to and still learn from.<\/p>\n

“El Concierto en Sol mayor de Ravel me gusta mucho, Ravel fue un innovador de la m\u00fasica y en esa obra apunta algunos ‘gui\u00f1os’ al jazz”, dice el pianista, calificado por el diario The Times de Londres como un “notable virtuoso” del instrumento de cuerda.<\/p>\n
Seg\u00fan cuenta, Ravel y George Gershwin se conocieron y el franc\u00e9s hace gui\u00f1os en su concierto para piano y orquesta a la “Rhapsody in Blue” del estadounidense. En una ocasi\u00f3n en Michigan L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n toc\u00f3 ambas obras para mostrar a la audiencia sus conexiones.<\/p>\n
Su preferida es la m\u00fasica de comienzos del siglo XX, “una etapa genial que tuvo la cultura”, se\u00f1ala.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que reside en La Habana y ha recorrido el mundo con su m\u00fasica, asegura que Cuba es un pa\u00eds especial para la m\u00fasica, pero no solo por el talento natural para ese arte de sus ciudadanos, sino por el “alto nivel” de la pedagog\u00eda musical en ese pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n
Su madre, Teresita Junco, ya fallecida, fue pianista y reconocida profesora de piano, y su padre, Guido L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, es director de orquesta y compositor.<\/p>\n
Su abuelo materno fue clarinetista profesional y su hermano mayor, Ilmar, primer viol\u00edn del Harlem Quartet, formaci\u00f3n que tambi\u00e9n compagina la m\u00fasica cl\u00e1sica y el jazz y con la que tocar\u00e1 este a\u00f1o en Washington.<\/p>\n
Tambi\u00e9n en Washington, L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n ser\u00e1 uno de los representantes de la cultura cubana que, capitaneados por la cantante Omara Portunondo, desembarcar\u00e1n en el Kennedy Center en mayo para un festival de dos semanas.<\/p>\n
El pianista se muestra ilusionado porque a pesar de que las relaciones entre Cuba y Estados Unidos no est\u00e1n en su mejor momento “se haya podido lograr esto” y las relaciones art\u00edsticas florezcan.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que gan\u00f3 su primer premio como pianista a los once a\u00f1os, el Danny Kaye International Children’s Award, ha actuado en escenarios como el Carnegie Hall y el Lincoln Center de Nueva York, el Auditorio de la Universidad Nacional de Bogot\u00e1, el Rozsa Centre de Canad\u00e1, el Smith Center en Las Vegas y el Chamber Music Society of Detroit.<\/p>\n
En 2006, el ya fallecido director de orquesta Claudio Abbado le invit\u00f3 a ser solista en un concierto especial con la Orquesta Joven Sim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar de Venezuela con motivo del 250 aniversario del nacimiento de Mozart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

<\/p>\n
The South Florida Symphony Orchestra has announced three performances of a groundbreaking new production of the Gershwin’s great American opera Porgy and Bess. The staging will be directed by famed Broadway producer\/director Richard Jay-Alexander<\/a> and SFSO’s acclaimed music-director Maestro Sebrina Maria Alfonso will conduct the 70 piece South Florida Symphony Orchestra with set design by award-winning designer Paul Tate<\/a> DePoo. The new adaption, featuring an all-star black cast will be presented in three performances: Wednesday, January 16 at the Adrienne Arsht<\/a> Center’s Knight Concert Hall in Miami; Saturday, January 19 at the Tennessee Williams<\/a> Theater in Key West; and concluding Wednesday, January 23 at the Au-Rene Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Ft. Lauderdale, with a season gala event in celebration of the SFSO’s 21st anniversary.<\/p>\nNeil Nelson as Porgy and Brandie Sutton<\/a> as Bess lead an all-star cast that includes Jermaine Smith<\/a> – Sportin’ Life, Kyaunnee Richardson – Clara, Simone Paulwell – Serena, Eric Heatley – Jake and Gwendolyn Brown<\/a> as Maria.<\/p>\nIn commenting, Stage Director Richard Jay-Alexander<\/a> stated: “Porgy and Bess is an American treasure. The original Gershwin Heywood all-star black cast of classically trained singers was revolutionary when it debuted in 1935 and has proven to be one of the most groundbreaking and enduring stories of the human condition. I am excited to be working with the South Florida Symphony Orchestra in bringing this incredible new adaption to South Florida.”<\/p>\nIn commenting: Maestra Sebrina Maria Alfonso stated: “Since starting the South Florida Symphony in 1997, it was my hope to someday present Porgy and Bess to our community. It is a tour de force and a one of a kind classic that not only crosses musical lines but has broken social barriers. Conducting the Gershwin’s magnificent score with our 70-piece orchestra is truly a dream come true.”<\/p>\n
In commenting SFSO President and CEO Jacqueline Lorber stated: “Porgy and Bess is the most highly anticipated feature presentation of our season. We are excited to bring this iconic American opera to our South Florida audiences in three magnificent performances as we celebrate our 21st anniversary.”<\/p>\n
It is a rare opportunity to be able to see and hear the American masterpiece Porgy and Bess. It is universally recognized as one of the greatest creative works this country has ever produced. But that opportunity is now a reality, due to the commitment of the South Florida Symphony Orchestra, with an exciting cast and a full 70-piece orchestra, in all their glory, under the masterful baton of Maestra Sebrina Mar\u00eda Alfonso.<\/p>\n
Porgy and Bess was written by American composer George Gershwin<\/a>, with a libretto by author DuBose Heyward<\/a> and lyricist Ira Gershwin<\/a>. It was adapted from Dorothy Heyward<\/a> and DuBose Heyward<\/a>‘s play “Porgy,” an adaptation of DuBose Heyward<\/a>‘s 1925 novel of the same name.<\/p>\nPorgy and Bess is considered by critics the most important American opera of the 20th century. Gershwin’s masterwork has gained popularity over generations, boasting some of the most beautiful songs ever written, including known classics and standards, such as “Summertime,” “I Got Plenty O’ Nuttin’,” “I Loves You, Porgy,” “Bess, You Is My Woman Now” and “It Ain’t Necessarily So.”<\/p>\n
Like many great American cultural works, Porgy and Bess sprang out of the soil that created jazz, with its unique hymns, rhythms, field calls, blues, revival shouts and spiritual soul. Gershwin worked passionately to create a one-of-a-kind classic, which ended up crossing musical lines, creating something that had never been done before. Whether referred to as an opera, a folk opera or a musical, it is surely a theatrical masterpiece and rarely done because it is such an ambitious undertaking. For that very reason, the well-established symphony reached out to Broadway veteran, Richard Jay-Alexander<\/a>, to bring it to the stage in a very special way. The entire orchestra and cast will share the stage in what is sure to be an exciting evening’s entertainment, telling an enthralling story, drawing us into the human condition.<\/p>\nThe Gershwin-Heyward collaboration originally featured an all-black cast of classically trained singers-revolutionary casting in 1930s America. First performed in 1935, in Boston, at the time it received mixed reviews. Many people couldn’t quite come to terms with its Catfish Row subject matter combined with outstanding vocalists and sophisticated music. As everyone wondered what to label such a revolutionary work, with recitatives and arias, it is still argued today, by scholars, yet beloved and admired by all. Just a few seasons ago, a new revival was reinterpreted and staged on Broadway, by director Diane Paulus<\/a>, starring Norm Lewis<\/a> and Audra McDonald<\/a>. It won a Tony Award for Best Revival. It has proven to be an enduring treasure and tour de force for orchestras and casts alike.<\/p>\nRising above controversy, Porgy and Bess has broken the barriers of time and social limitations, valued today by what it represents in its essence: a real story “spoken” in beautiful music, that everyone can enjoy, relate to and still learn from.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The South Florida Symphony Orchestra has announced three performances of a groundbreaking new production of the Gershwin’s great American opera Porgy and Bess. The staging will be directed by famed Broadway producer\/director Richard Jay-Alexander<\/a> and SFSO’s acclaimed music-director Maestro Sebrina Maria Alfonso will conduct the 70 piece South Florida Symphony Orchestra with set design by award-winning designer Paul Tate<\/a> DePoo. The new adaption, featuring an all-star black cast will be presented in three performances: Wednesday, January 16 at the Adrienne Arsht<\/a> Center’s Knight Concert Hall in Miami; Saturday, January 19 at the Tennessee Williams<\/a> Theater in Key West; and concluding Wednesday, January 23 at the Au-Rene Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Ft. Lauderdale, with a season gala event in celebration of the SFSO’s 21st anniversary.<\/p>\nNeil Nelson as Porgy and Brandie Sutton<\/a> as Bess lead an all-star cast that includes Jermaine Smith<\/a> – Sportin’ Life, Kyaunnee Richardson – Clara, Simone Paulwell – Serena, Eric Heatley – Jake and Gwendolyn Brown<\/a> as Maria.<\/p>\nIn commenting, Stage Director Richard Jay-Alexander<\/a> stated: “Porgy and Bess is an American treasure. The original Gershwin Heywood all-star black cast of classically trained singers was revolutionary when it debuted in 1935 and has proven to be one of the most groundbreaking and enduring stories of the human condition. I am excited to be working with the South Florida Symphony Orchestra in bringing this incredible new adaption to South Florida.”<\/p>\nIn commenting: Maestra Sebrina Maria Alfonso stated: “Since starting the South Florida Symphony in 1997, it was my hope to someday present Porgy and Bess to our community. It is a tour de force and a one of a kind classic that not only crosses musical lines but has broken social barriers. Conducting the Gershwin’s magnificent score with our 70-piece orchestra is truly a dream come true.”<\/p>\n
In commenting SFSO President and CEO Jacqueline Lorber stated: “Porgy and Bess is the most highly anticipated feature presentation of our season. We are excited to bring this iconic American opera to our South Florida audiences in three magnificent performances as we celebrate our 21st anniversary.”<\/p>\n
It is a rare opportunity to be able to see and hear the American masterpiece Porgy and Bess. It is universally recognized as one of the greatest creative works this country has ever produced. But that opportunity is now a reality, due to the commitment of the South Florida Symphony Orchestra, with an exciting cast and a full 70-piece orchestra, in all their glory, under the masterful baton of Maestra Sebrina Mar\u00eda Alfonso.<\/p>\n
Porgy and Bess was written by American composer George Gershwin<\/a>, with a libretto by author DuBose Heyward<\/a> and lyricist Ira Gershwin<\/a>. It was adapted from Dorothy Heyward<\/a> and DuBose Heyward<\/a>‘s play “Porgy,” an adaptation of DuBose Heyward<\/a>‘s 1925 novel of the same name.<\/p>\nPorgy and Bess is considered by critics the most important American opera of the 20th century. Gershwin’s masterwork has gained popularity over generations, boasting some of the most beautiful songs ever written, including known classics and standards, such as “Summertime,” “I Got Plenty O’ Nuttin’,” “I Loves You, Porgy,” “Bess, You Is My Woman Now” and “It Ain’t Necessarily So.”<\/p>\n
Like many great American cultural works, Porgy and Bess sprang out of the soil that created jazz, with its unique hymns, rhythms, field calls, blues, revival shouts and spiritual soul. Gershwin worked passionately to create a one-of-a-kind classic, which ended up crossing musical lines, creating something that had never been done before. Whether referred to as an opera, a folk opera or a musical, it is surely a theatrical masterpiece and rarely done because it is such an ambitious undertaking. For that very reason, the well-established symphony reached out to Broadway veteran, Richard Jay-Alexander<\/a>, to bring it to the stage in a very special way. The entire orchestra and cast will share the stage in what is sure to be an exciting evening’s entertainment, telling an enthralling story, drawing us into the human condition.<\/p>\nThe Gershwin-Heyward collaboration originally featured an all-black cast of classically trained singers-revolutionary casting in 1930s America. First performed in 1935, in Boston, at the time it received mixed reviews. Many people couldn’t quite come to terms with its Catfish Row subject matter combined with outstanding vocalists and sophisticated music. As everyone wondered what to label such a revolutionary work, with recitatives and arias, it is still argued today, by scholars, yet beloved and admired by all. Just a few seasons ago, a new revival was reinterpreted and staged on Broadway, by director Diane Paulus<\/a>, starring Norm Lewis<\/a> and Audra McDonald<\/a>. It won a Tony Award for Best Revival. It has proven to be an enduring treasure and tour de force for orchestras and casts alike.<\/p>\nRising above controversy, Porgy and Bess has broken the barriers of time and social limitations, valued today by what it represents in its essence: a real story “spoken” in beautiful music, that everyone can enjoy, relate to and still learn from.<\/p>\n

Miami, 13 abr (EFE).- El joven y premiado pianista cubano Aldo L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que este s\u00e1bado se presentar\u00e1 en Miami junto a la Orquesta Sinf\u00f3nica del Sur de Florida, afirma en una entrevista con Efe que a un m\u00fasico el “ambiente le influye tanto o m\u00e1s que cualquier habilidad o don que uno tenga” para este arte.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, de 38 a\u00f1os, pertenece a la tercera generaci\u00f3n de m\u00fasicos en su familia y salvo por un “fugaz” inter\u00e9s por la actuaci\u00f3n cuando era adolescente, siempre ha sabido que la m\u00fasica es lo suyo y no solo para interpretar, pues tambi\u00e9n es compositor.<\/p>\n
“Algo musical tengo en los genes”, dice.<\/p>\n
La Orquesta Sinf\u00f3nica del Sur de Florida, dirigida por Sebrina Alfonso, de origen cubano aunque nacida y criada en los Cayos de la Florida, le ha invitado a interpretar como solista el Concierto en Sol mayor para piano y orquesta, de Maurice Ravel, en la temporada de su vig\u00e9simo aniversario.<\/p>\n
El programa del Adrien Arsht Center incluye tambi\u00e9n la Sinfon\u00eda Fant\u00e1stica de Hector Berlioz a cargo de la orquesta floridana y la pieza “If You Will It, It Is No Dream”, de Nimrod Borenstein.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que como pianista se mueve como pez en el agua tanto en la m\u00fasica cl\u00e1sica como en el jazz, se\u00f1ala, sin embargo, que “obviamente” como m\u00e1s a gusto se siente es tocando su propia m\u00fasica.<\/p>\n
“El Concierto en Sol mayor de Ravel me gusta mucho, Ravel fue un innovador de la m\u00fasica y en esa obra apunta algunos ‘gui\u00f1os’ al jazz”, dice el pianista, calificado por el diario The Times de Londres como un “notable virtuoso” del instrumento de cuerda.<\/p>\n
Seg\u00fan cuenta, Ravel y George Gershwin se conocieron y el franc\u00e9s hace gui\u00f1os en su concierto para piano y orquesta a la “Rhapsody in Blue” del estadounidense. En una ocasi\u00f3n en Michigan L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n toc\u00f3 ambas obras para mostrar a la audiencia sus conexiones.<\/p>\n
Su preferida es la m\u00fasica de comienzos del siglo XX, “una etapa genial que tuvo la cultura”, se\u00f1ala.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que reside en La Habana y ha recorrido el mundo con su m\u00fasica, asegura que Cuba es un pa\u00eds especial para la m\u00fasica, pero no solo por el talento natural para ese arte de sus ciudadanos, sino por el “alto nivel” de la pedagog\u00eda musical en ese pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n
Su madre, Teresita Junco, ya fallecida, fue pianista y reconocida profesora de piano, y su padre, Guido L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, es director de orquesta y compositor.<\/p>\n
Su abuelo materno fue clarinetista profesional y su hermano mayor, Ilmar, primer viol\u00edn del Harlem Quartet, formaci\u00f3n que tambi\u00e9n compagina la m\u00fasica cl\u00e1sica y el jazz y con la que tocar\u00e1 este a\u00f1o en Washington.<\/p>\n
Tambi\u00e9n en Washington, L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n ser\u00e1 uno de los representantes de la cultura cubana que, capitaneados por la cantante Omara Portunondo, desembarcar\u00e1n en el Kennedy Center en mayo para un festival de dos semanas.<\/p>\n
El pianista se muestra ilusionado porque a pesar de que las relaciones entre Cuba y Estados Unidos no est\u00e1n en su mejor momento “se haya podido lograr esto” y las relaciones art\u00edsticas florezcan.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que gan\u00f3 su primer premio como pianista a los once a\u00f1os, el Danny Kaye International Children’s Award, ha actuado en escenarios como el Carnegie Hall y el Lincoln Center de Nueva York, el Auditorio de la Universidad Nacional de Bogot\u00e1, el Rozsa Centre de Canad\u00e1, el Smith Center en Las Vegas y el Chamber Music Society of Detroit.<\/p>\n

The South Florida Symphony Orchestra has announced three performances of a groundbreaking new production of the Gershwin’s great American opera Porgy and Bess. The staging will be directed by famed Broadway producer\/director Richard Jay-Alexander<\/a> and SFSO’s acclaimed music-director Maestro Sebrina Maria Alfonso will conduct the 70 piece South Florida Symphony Orchestra with set design by award-winning designer Paul Tate<\/a> DePoo. The new adaption, featuring an all-star black cast will be presented in three performances: Wednesday, January 16 at the Adrienne Arsht<\/a> Center’s Knight Concert Hall in Miami; Saturday, January 19 at the Tennessee Williams<\/a> Theater in Key West; and concluding Wednesday, January 23 at the Au-Rene Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Ft. Lauderdale, with a season gala event in celebration of the SFSO’s 21st anniversary.<\/p>\nNeil Nelson as Porgy and Brandie Sutton<\/a> as Bess lead an all-star cast that includes Jermaine Smith<\/a> – Sportin’ Life, Kyaunnee Richardson – Clara, Simone Paulwell – Serena, Eric Heatley – Jake and Gwendolyn Brown<\/a> as Maria.<\/p>\nIn commenting, Stage Director Richard Jay-Alexander<\/a> stated: “Porgy and Bess is an American treasure. The original Gershwin Heywood all-star black cast of classically trained singers was revolutionary when it debuted in 1935 and has proven to be one of the most groundbreaking and enduring stories of the human condition. I am excited to be working with the South Florida Symphony Orchestra in bringing this incredible new adaption to South Florida.”<\/p>\nIn commenting: Maestra Sebrina Maria Alfonso stated: “Since starting the South Florida Symphony in 1997, it was my hope to someday present Porgy and Bess to our community. It is a tour de force and a one of a kind classic that not only crosses musical lines but has broken social barriers. Conducting the Gershwin’s magnificent score with our 70-piece orchestra is truly a dream come true.”<\/p>\n
In commenting SFSO President and CEO Jacqueline Lorber stated: “Porgy and Bess is the most highly anticipated feature presentation of our season. We are excited to bring this iconic American opera to our South Florida audiences in three magnificent performances as we celebrate our 21st anniversary.”<\/p>\n
It is a rare opportunity to be able to see and hear the American masterpiece Porgy and Bess. It is universally recognized as one of the greatest creative works this country has ever produced. But that opportunity is now a reality, due to the commitment of the South Florida Symphony Orchestra, with an exciting cast and a full 70-piece orchestra, in all their glory, under the masterful baton of Maestra Sebrina Mar\u00eda Alfonso.<\/p>\n
Porgy and Bess was written by American composer George Gershwin<\/a>, with a libretto by author DuBose Heyward<\/a> and lyricist Ira Gershwin<\/a>. It was adapted from Dorothy Heyward<\/a> and DuBose Heyward<\/a>‘s play “Porgy,” an adaptation of DuBose Heyward<\/a>‘s 1925 novel of the same name.<\/p>\nPorgy and Bess is considered by critics the most important American opera of the 20th century. Gershwin’s masterwork has gained popularity over generations, boasting some of the most beautiful songs ever written, including known classics and standards, such as “Summertime,” “I Got Plenty O’ Nuttin’,” “I Loves You, Porgy,” “Bess, You Is My Woman Now” and “It Ain’t Necessarily So.”<\/p>\n
Like many great American cultural works, Porgy and Bess sprang out of the soil that created jazz, with its unique hymns, rhythms, field calls, blues, revival shouts and spiritual soul. Gershwin worked passionately to create a one-of-a-kind classic, which ended up crossing musical lines, creating something that had never been done before. Whether referred to as an opera, a folk opera or a musical, it is surely a theatrical masterpiece and rarely done because it is such an ambitious undertaking. For that very reason, the well-established symphony reached out to Broadway veteran, Richard Jay-Alexander<\/a>, to bring it to the stage in a very special way. The entire orchestra and cast will share the stage in what is sure to be an exciting evening’s entertainment, telling an enthralling story, drawing us into the human condition.<\/p>\nThe Gershwin-Heyward collaboration originally featured an all-black cast of classically trained singers-revolutionary casting in 1930s America. First performed in 1935, in Boston, at the time it received mixed reviews. Many people couldn’t quite come to terms with its Catfish Row subject matter combined with outstanding vocalists and sophisticated music. As everyone wondered what to label such a revolutionary work, with recitatives and arias, it is still argued today, by scholars, yet beloved and admired by all. Just a few seasons ago, a new revival was reinterpreted and staged on Broadway, by director Diane Paulus<\/a>, starring Norm Lewis<\/a> and Audra McDonald<\/a>. It won a Tony Award for Best Revival. It has proven to be an enduring treasure and tour de force for orchestras and casts alike.<\/p>\nRising above controversy, Porgy and Bess has broken the barriers of time and social limitations, valued today by what it represents in its essence: a real story “spoken” in beautiful music, that everyone can enjoy, relate to and still learn from.<\/p>\n

Miami, 13 abr (EFE).- El joven y premiado pianista cubano Aldo L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que este s\u00e1bado se presentar\u00e1 en Miami junto a la Orquesta Sinf\u00f3nica del Sur de Florida, afirma en una entrevista con Efe que a un m\u00fasico el “ambiente le influye tanto o m\u00e1s que cualquier habilidad o don que uno tenga” para este arte.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, de 38 a\u00f1os, pertenece a la tercera generaci\u00f3n de m\u00fasicos en su familia y salvo por un “fugaz” inter\u00e9s por la actuaci\u00f3n cuando era adolescente, siempre ha sabido que la m\u00fasica es lo suyo y no solo para interpretar, pues tambi\u00e9n es compositor.<\/p>\n
“Algo musical tengo en los genes”, dice.<\/p>\n
La Orquesta Sinf\u00f3nica del Sur de Florida, dirigida por Sebrina Alfonso, de origen cubano aunque nacida y criada en los Cayos de la Florida, le ha invitado a interpretar como solista el Concierto en Sol mayor para piano y orquesta, de Maurice Ravel, en la temporada de su vig\u00e9simo aniversario.<\/p>\n
El programa del Adrien Arsht Center incluye tambi\u00e9n la Sinfon\u00eda Fant\u00e1stica de Hector Berlioz a cargo de la orquesta floridana y la pieza “If You Will It, It Is No Dream”, de Nimrod Borenstein.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que como pianista se mueve como pez en el agua tanto en la m\u00fasica cl\u00e1sica como en el jazz, se\u00f1ala, sin embargo, que “obviamente” como m\u00e1s a gusto se siente es tocando su propia m\u00fasica.<\/p>\n
“El Concierto en Sol mayor de Ravel me gusta mucho, Ravel fue un innovador de la m\u00fasica y en esa obra apunta algunos ‘gui\u00f1os’ al jazz”, dice el pianista, calificado por el diario The Times de Londres como un “notable virtuoso” del instrumento de cuerda.<\/p>\n
Seg\u00fan cuenta, Ravel y George Gershwin se conocieron y el franc\u00e9s hace gui\u00f1os en su concierto para piano y orquesta a la “Rhapsody in Blue” del estadounidense. En una ocasi\u00f3n en Michigan L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n toc\u00f3 ambas obras para mostrar a la audiencia sus conexiones.<\/p>\n
Su preferida es la m\u00fasica de comienzos del siglo XX, “una etapa genial que tuvo la cultura”, se\u00f1ala.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que reside en La Habana y ha recorrido el mundo con su m\u00fasica, asegura que Cuba es un pa\u00eds especial para la m\u00fasica, pero no solo por el talento natural para ese arte de sus ciudadanos, sino por el “alto nivel” de la pedagog\u00eda musical en ese pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n
Su madre, Teresita Junco, ya fallecida, fue pianista y reconocida profesora de piano, y su padre, Guido L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, es director de orquesta y compositor.<\/p>\n
Su abuelo materno fue clarinetista profesional y su hermano mayor, Ilmar, primer viol\u00edn del Harlem Quartet, formaci\u00f3n que tambi\u00e9n compagina la m\u00fasica cl\u00e1sica y el jazz y con la que tocar\u00e1 este a\u00f1o en Washington.<\/p>\n
Tambi\u00e9n en Washington, L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n ser\u00e1 uno de los representantes de la cultura cubana que, capitaneados por la cantante Omara Portunondo, desembarcar\u00e1n en el Kennedy Center en mayo para un festival de dos semanas.<\/p>\n
El pianista se muestra ilusionado porque a pesar de que las relaciones entre Cuba y Estados Unidos no est\u00e1n en su mejor momento “se haya podido lograr esto” y las relaciones art\u00edsticas florezcan.<\/p>\n
L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, que gan\u00f3 su primer premio como pianista a los once a\u00f1os, el Danny Kaye International Children’s Award, ha actuado en escenarios como el Carnegie Hall y el Lincoln Center de Nueva York, el Auditorio de la Universidad Nacional de Bogot\u00e1, el Rozsa Centre de Canad\u00e1, el Smith Center en Las Vegas y el Chamber Music Society of Detroit.<\/p>\n
En 2006, el ya fallecido director de orquesta Claudio Abbado le invit\u00f3 a ser solista en un concierto especial con la Orquesta Joven Sim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar de Venezuela con motivo del 250 aniversario del nacimiento de Mozart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Lauderdale, with a season gala event in celebration of the SFSO’s 21st anniversary.<\/p>\n Neil Nelson as Porgy and Brandie Sutton<\/a> as Bess lead an all-star cast that includes Jermaine Smith<\/a> – Sportin’ Life, Kyaunnee Richardson – Clara, Simone Paulwell – Serena, Eric Heatley – Jake and Gwendolyn Brown<\/a> as Maria.<\/p>\n In commenting, Stage Director Richard Jay-Alexander<\/a> stated: “Porgy and Bess is an American treasure. The original Gershwin Heywood all-star black cast of classically trained singers was revolutionary when it debuted in 1935 and has proven to be one of the most groundbreaking and enduring stories of the human condition. I am excited to be working with the South Florida Symphony Orchestra in bringing this incredible new adaption to South Florida.”<\/p>\n In commenting: Maestra Sebrina Maria Alfonso stated: “Since starting the South Florida Symphony in 1997, it was my hope to someday present Porgy and Bess to our community. It is a tour de force and a one of a kind classic that not only crosses musical lines but has broken social barriers. Conducting the Gershwin’s magnificent score with our 70-piece orchestra is truly a dream come true.”<\/p>\n In commenting SFSO President and CEO Jacqueline Lorber stated: “Porgy and Bess is the most highly anticipated feature presentation of our season. We are excited to bring this iconic American opera to our South Florida audiences in three magnificent performances as we celebrate our 21st anniversary.”<\/p>\n It is a rare opportunity to be able to see and hear the American masterpiece Porgy and Bess. It is universally recognized as one of the greatest creative works this country has ever produced. But that opportunity is now a reality, due to the commitment of the South Florida Symphony Orchestra, with an exciting cast and a full 70-piece orchestra, in all their glory, under the masterful baton of Maestra Sebrina Mar\u00eda Alfonso.<\/p>\n Porgy and Bess was written by American composer George Gershwin<\/a>, with a libretto by author DuBose Heyward<\/a> and lyricist Ira Gershwin<\/a>. It was adapted from Dorothy Heyward<\/a> and DuBose Heyward<\/a>‘s play “Porgy,” an adaptation of DuBose Heyward<\/a>‘s 1925 novel of the same name.<\/p>\n Porgy and Bess is considered by critics the most important American opera of the 20th century. Gershwin’s masterwork has gained popularity over generations, boasting some of the most beautiful songs ever written, including known classics and standards, such as “Summertime,” “I Got Plenty O’ Nuttin’,” “I Loves You, Porgy,” “Bess, You Is My Woman Now” and “It Ain’t Necessarily So.”<\/p>\n Like many great American cultural works, Porgy and Bess sprang out of the soil that created jazz, with its unique hymns, rhythms, field calls, blues, revival shouts and spiritual soul. Gershwin worked passionately to create a one-of-a-kind classic, which ended up crossing musical lines, creating something that had never been done before. Whether referred to as an opera, a folk opera or a musical, it is surely a theatrical masterpiece and rarely done because it is such an ambitious undertaking. For that very reason, the well-established symphony reached out to Broadway veteran, Richard Jay-Alexander<\/a>, to bring it to the stage in a very special way. The entire orchestra and cast will share the stage in what is sure to be an exciting evening’s entertainment, telling an enthralling story, drawing us into the human condition.<\/p>\n The Gershwin-Heyward collaboration originally featured an all-black cast of classically trained singers-revolutionary casting in 1930s America. First performed in 1935, in Boston, at the time it received mixed reviews. Many people couldn’t quite come to terms with its Catfish Row subject matter combined with outstanding vocalists and sophisticated music. As everyone wondered what to label such a revolutionary work, with recitatives and arias, it is still argued today, by scholars, yet beloved and admired by all. Just a few seasons ago, a new revival was reinterpreted and staged on Broadway, by director Diane Paulus<\/a>, starring Norm Lewis<\/a> and Audra McDonald<\/a>. It won a Tony Award for Best Revival. It has proven to be an enduring treasure and tour de force for orchestras and casts alike.<\/p>\n Rising above controversy, Porgy and Bess has broken the barriers of time and social limitations, valued today by what it represents in its essence: a real story “spoken” in beautiful music, that everyone can enjoy, relate to and still learn from.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" https:\/\/www.broadwayworld.com\/miami\/article\/Richard-Jay-Alexander-To-Direct-South-Florida-Symphonys-PORGY-AND-BESS-20181211 The South Florida Symphony Orchestra has announced three performances of a groundbreaking new production of the Gershwin’s great American opera Porgy and Bess.
