LIVING ARTIST CONCERT SERIES

The Living Artist Concert Series (LACS) combines ensemble performances with lectures, visual art exhibits, environmental awareness and interpretive programs. Founding artists representing faculty from the University of Miami and Florida International University and top local performers seek to acquaint the public with the best of South Florida’s artistic spirit. This series proposes collaborations with Seraphic Fire, Amernet String Quartet, founding artists with guest performer Kenneth Cooper featuring new works by living composers Judith Shatin, Victoria Bond, Stephen Dankner and Ellen Zwilich choreographed to juried art exhibitions and installations. LACS presents new, environmentally themed concerts at the Deering Estate at Cutler. As the Estate preserves seven endangered Florida ecosystems, the performances highlight awareness of how man interacts with his natural environment through art and inspiration.

Founding Artists: Dr. José R. López (Pianist), Laura Wilcox (Violist), Ross Harbaugh (Cellist) and Scott Flavin (Violinist).
