<a href="https://www.orchestramiami.org/saturdays-at-trinity" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Orchestra Miami</a> is excited to partner with the Music Ministry of <a href="https://www.trinitymiami.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Trinity Episcopal Cathedra</a>l to create the Saturdays at Trinity
Series in their historic sanctuary in Downtown Miami. These concerts will feature music performed by soloists from Orchestra Miami along with the finest singers in South Florida.
The series, performed on Saturdays at 7 PM, will explore the lush and opulent music of the Art Nouveau era (roughly 1885 to the 1930's). This period is known for its opulence, lushness and eclecticism- music that was often theatrical, grandly scaled, and adorned with complex harmonies.
Our exploration of the Art Nouveau era begins in Italy, where we discover stile floreale, or "floral style" music. The music of this era pushed boundaries and created a lush sound as it expanded the musical ideals of the early 1900's.
The program includes Il Tramonto, a breathtaking and dramatic lyric poem/cantata composed by Ottorino Respighi for string quartet and mezzo-soprano, Respighi’s gorgeous, rarely heard Piano Quintet in F Minor. The program also explores some of the lesser-known works of one of Italy’s most famous composers, Giacomo Puccini, Crisantemi for string quartet and some of his art songs. Lastly the program ends with some of Italy’s sunniest works, canzoni Napoltane by Giorgio Tosti.
The performers include some of Orchestra Miami’s finest musicians- Huifang Chen and Dale Sandvold on the violin, Gregory Falkenstein on the viola and Susan Bergeron on cello- along with Artistic Director Elaine Rinaldi on the piano. Also featured are special guests Metropolitan Opera Grand Finalist Award winner, mezzo-soprano Maggie Reneé and frequent Orchestra Miami collaborator, tenor Gerardo Ortega.
Admission is on a Pay-What-You-Wish basis starting at just $5, or you can reserve a front row seat for just $30! You are invited to join a wine and bubbly reception with the artists following the performance. 
Saturday, May 16, 2026, 7 PM at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, 464 NE 16 Street, Miami, 33132 in downtown Miami. Free parking is available at the church (tell the attendant you are there for the concert) or Pay-by-Phone street parking is available. Parking is also available in the Omni Garage or take the Metro Mover to the Omni Station. 
The Saturdays at Trinity series is generously sponsored by a grant from the Miami DDA. The next two concerts are La Musique Nouvelle, Art Nouveau in France on Saturday, June 13th, and Neue Musik, the music of the Art Nouveau in Germany and Austria on July 11th.

The Cuban Classical Ballet of Miami (CCBM) under the artistic direction of Eriberto Jimenez, will present Le Corsaire Suite. This enchanting ballet is based on Lord Byron’s epic poem written in 1814, a romantic story of pirates, maidens, slave merchants, and pashas. 

The Suite is a compilation of the most beloved scenes from the full-length ballet, including:
Le Jardin Animé
Pas d’Esclave,
Grand Pas de Trois des Odalisques
Le Corsaire Pas de Deux
&amp; More

The first performance of Le Corsaire as a ballet was in 1837 at the King's Theatre in London, with choreography by François Albert and music by Nicholas Bochsa. The ballet was later reworked by Joseph Mazilier, whose version premiered in 1856 with music by Adolphe Adam at the Paris Opera, achieving unexpected success. In 1858, Jules Perrot adapted the story again, adding several new dances later on choreographer Marius Petipa created several versions between 1863 and 1899.
