Earlier this week — yesterday, in fact — a new album by a Broward County native who’s making good in the world of classical crossover was released. Daniel Bernard Roumain, a violinist who grew up in Margate, has just released Woodbox Beats & Balladry, which features tracks such as Sonata for Violin and Turntables, part [...]
Video has played an integral role in contemporary art for decades now, but it doesn’t get much of a showing in Miami as a medium. That’s why the all-video “Chained to a Creature of a Different Kingdom” is a standout and worth catching while it’s still running …
This week the Global Caribbean exhibit at the Little Haiti Cultural Center comes down and heads for a second showing at the Musee International des Artes Modestes in the South of France. Let’s hope that the exhibition, curated by artist Edouard Duval Carrie, is only the beginning of a powerful artistic life for the center. [...]

The Broward Center in Fort Lauderdale and the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach have announced their classical lineups [...]
