Project description as approved by Grants Panel:
Young Artist Recitals at The Bass Museum
Florida Grand Opera's first collaboration with The Bass Museum took place on February 19, 2011 as
part of the Wine, Wander, Wonder series offered by the museum and was invited back for two
performances, January 22 and March 11, in 2012. The collaboration proved so successful that FGO
seeks to again collaborate with the Bass Museum in March of 2013. Held in the Sol M. Taplin Studio,
two Young Artists perform solos and duets accompanied by the Young Artist accompanist on the
Museum's Steinway grand piano. The museum hosts a wine and cheese reception following the
concert.
Young Artist Recitals at The Wolfsonian—FIU
For several seasons, members of FGO's Young Artist Studio presented musical programs designed
to complement The Wolfsonian—FIU's traveling exhibitions and/or permanent collections. While dates
could not be secured for 2012, FGO seeks to again host a concert at The Wolfsonian — FIU in 2013.
In-School Performance at Miami Beach Senior High School
FGO will return to Miami Beach Senior High School for an in-school musical performance in school
year 20121-2013. FGO has typically served Miami Beach Senior High as part of the company's
annual Family Festival. FGO's Education Manager Cerise Sutton, formerly of the New World
Symphony, has enjoyed great success with in-school and out-of-school educational programs for
FGO. An in-school performance and Student Study Guide will still be included in the program to
connect the components of opera with the Sunshine State Standards, as well as other activities
designed to engage students in the viable career paths possible through opera, such as set design,
hair and makeup, and costuming in addition to performing.
Fresh Aire Fund Proposals:
Opera in the Park Concert
FGO's 2012-2013 Opera in the Park concert will be the fourth annual open-air performance, featuring
Young Artist Studio members and guest artists, presented in Miami Beach. FGO's inaugural Mother's
Day Opera in the Park concert took place in conjunction with and featuring artists from the company's
mainstage opera Madama Butterfly and was hosted in Collins Park just east of the Bass Museum.
The 2010 Mother's Day Opera in the Park concert, a component of the City of Miami Beach's Arts in
the Park initiative, took place in Flamingo Park and featured Young Artists and Carmen mainstage
artists. The 2011 Opera in the Park concert will be presented earlier in the season than originally
planned, in order to capitalize on the exceptional spring weather. FGO returned to Collins Park for the
performance on March 6, 2011. While no date has been scheduled as yet for the 2013 Opera in the
Park, FGO is considering dates in January or February to return to Collins park and avoid the peak
season of March, which proved difficult for scheduling the 2012 concert.
FGO is also considering a Stained Glass concert series in local churches and will seek to include a
venue on Miami Beach for this series.
FGO will also participate in Sleepless Night in November 2012 (no funds sought under this grant
proposal). FGO is also in discussion to present a Wallcast of the exciting Knight-funded UnEx Opera,
"Maria de Buenos Aires."
6of10
Project description as revised (if applicable) based upon the City Commission approved
award:
Changes to projects awarded under the Artistic Disciplines program must still adhere to the requirement that the
work is new or has never before been presented in Miami Beach.
Partnership Concert Series:
Young Artist Recitals at The Wolfsonian—FIU
For several seasons, members of FGO's Young Artist Studio presented musical programs designed
to complement The Wolfson ian—FIU's traveling exhibitions and/or permanent collections. FGO is
scheduled to perform there on Friday, May 3, 2013.
Young Artist event at the Holocaust Memorial
In May, 2013 our Young Artists will sing "Va, pensiero" from Verdi's Nabucco to pay tribute to
survivors of the Holocaust and remember those who passed during the time of this historic tragedy.
This song of longing for homeland in exile will be a perfect tribute, and will provide a thematic and
educational connection linking 19thcentury opera to 20thcentury history.
In-School Performance
FGO returned to Miami Beach Senior High School for an in-school musical performance on February
19. 2013. Over 250 students participated. In April 2013 FGO is also scheduled to go to Feinberg
Fisher K-8.
Read Along, Sing Along
The "Read Along, Sing a Song" program is designed for elementary school aged children, walking
them through a pre-selected story and incorporating elements from different artistic disciplines found
within opera. As the children read, they may be instructed to pick up an instrument, follow a dance or
sing to a melody during a high point of the story, making reading even more engaging and fun.
On November 19, 2012 Florida Grand Opera presented:
The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf
At the Miami Beach Regional Library, 227 22nd St., Miami Beach, FL.
The sessions are led by FGO's Teaching Artist, Jean Sensale. Sensale, or"Miss Jeannie", is an
enthusiastic educator and the co-founder and music director of Tandem Theatre Project, a children's
theatre company. She earned a degree in vocal performance from Miami Dade College, and later
earned a degree in Occupational Therapy working as a pediatric Occupational Therapist. Jeannie has
worked in recent years as an independent musical director at both the high school and middle school
level, and as a private vocal coach. Designed to cater to underserved communities, the program is
offered at no cost at libraries in Miami-Dade.
Fresh Aire Fund Proposals:
Opera in the Park Concert
The 2013 concert will be held on April 13, 2013 in the Miami Beach band shell. This event will be
open to the public and will be aimed at introducing families to the art form.
