A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 1 FROM THE LEADERSHIP Walking through these great halls every day, I am reminded of the extraordinary men and women whose visionary quest to make Miami one of the great cultural cities of the world helped create our magnificent performing arts center. The Adrienne Arsht Center is a living, vibrant, and constant tribute to these outstanding pillars of our community, poignantly reflected in the passing this year of Woody Weiser and his request to have the funeral service conducted on the stage of the Knight Concert Hall. Shortly after celebrating Woody’s legacy, 100 young AileyCamp dance students took the same stage and filled the hall with talent, beauty and joy. It was a profound transition as we at once honored the past and saw the future of the arts flowering right before our eyes—a fitting tribute and a dream fulfilled. John Richard President and CEO, Adrienne Arsht Center In my travels throughout the U.S., I have found that the Adrienne Arsht Center is renowned to audiences and great artists alike for its unparalled acoustics and state-of-the-art performance spaces. It ranks as one of the finest cultural venues in any city in the world, and its diverse and global programming brings the best of world culture to our community. Some of the greatest artists have made their desire to perform at the Arsht Center abundantly clear, knowing that their artistry will be showcased in the best possible way. Adrienne Arsht Chairman, Adrienne Arsht Center Foundation As we look toward our landmark 10th anniversary season, we build our future on our already extraordinary achievements. We explore new opportunities and see that our successful signature programs, including, Masterworks, Jazz Roots, Rock Odyssey, Flamenco Festival and Broadway in Miami, continue to grow. We believe that it is the finest programming that builds the greatest audience. The performing arts touch lives; often they transform them – that’s what’s happening in our halls every day.

To witness their unique collaboration was a very rare privilege that I will treasure forever. That the Adrienne Arsht Center was only one of three venues in the United States – along with New York’s Carnegie Hall and Chicago’s Symphony Hall – in which this once-in-a-lifetime concert was played speaks not only to the status of the acoustically superb Knight Concert Hall among the world’s great classical music venues, but also to the caliber of world-class performers that the Arsht Center brings to Miami as part of its classical music programming.” Dr. Sanford L. Ziff ALVIN AILEY AMERICAN DANCE THEATER “As a Miami native, I am at once proud and humbled by the extraordinary way South Florida audiences and critics have embraced the company’s annual visits. As the company’s new artistic director, I am thrilled to be able to share with my home town the electrifying energy of our dancers and the transformative power of our works. I look forward to the company’s future visits to the Adrienne Arsht Center, where presenting programs that refect South Florida’s rich cultural diversity and meaningful arts educational experience are central to what they do.” Robert Battle Classical Music Series Sponsor Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Artistic Director KNIGHT MASTERWORKS SEASON/SANFORD AND DOLORES ZIFF CLASSICAL MUSIC SERIES 2010-2011 KNIGHT MASTERWORKS SEASON/SANFORD AND DOLORES ZIFF DANCE SERIES 2010-2011 Chamber Orchestra Kremlin, Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie, Joshua Bell, Moscow State Symphony Orchestra, Yuri Bashmet and Evgeny Kissin Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Tania Perez-Salas Compañia De Danza 11 12 BALLET NACIONAL DE ESPAÑA “Over the past four years, the Adrienne Arsht Center has brought the finest flamenco artists to South Florida, making it one of the most important venues for flamenco outside Spain. The 2011 Flamenco Festival Miami reached new heights when it presented the only American engagement of Spain’s foremost ambassadors of flamenco—Ballet Nacional de España—for a full week of performance. EULEN America strongly believes that the arts enrich the quality of people’s lives, as well as the communities in which they perform, which is why our company is such a strong believer in supporting festivals such as this one in that they positively impact the cultural environment of where we live and work.” JERSEY BOYS “Through our support of Broadway in Miami, Bank of America is proud to partner with the Adrienne Arsht Center and Broadway Across America to bring the very best of Broadway – the very best of American culture – to Miami audiences. We believe that in so doing, we’re contributing to the growth and sustainability of the Arsht Center while fueling our community’s economy. This season’s Jersey Boys, winner of the 2006 Tony Award for Best Musical, is a perfect example of creative genius at its best, successfully merging music, choreography, set design and costumes to recreate a part of Americana that resonates with us all.” Gene Schaefer Luis Rodriguez Market President, Miami, Bank of America FLAMENCO FESTIVAL MIAMI 2011 BROADWAY IN MIAMI 2010/2011, Presented by Bank of America Ballet Nacional De España and Café Cantante Disney’s Beauty And The Beast, Dreamgirls, Forbidden Broadway, Hair, In The Heights, Jersey Boys, Rain: A Tribute To The Beatles EULEN America CEO 13 14 AYIKODANS “To perform at three sold-out shows in a space that truly lets our dancers be the best they can be was a joy beyond words after the 2010 earthquake destroyed our school and studio. The Adrienne Arsht Center’s belief in us – and its ability to organize and raise $117,000, more than double the amount expected – is the ultimate gift to Haiti. Yes, it’s true that so many Haitians are in need of shelter, food and other basics to survive, but also essential for so many is the sense of joy, possibility and self-worth that can be found in the arts. For the past 23 years I have been trying to get that kind of support. Now I know we can keep on fighting, but we dearly need continuous support from institutions like the Adrienne Arsht Center to achieve our goal.” Jeanguy Saintus Founder and Choreographer, Ayikodans MERCE CUNNINGHAM DANCE COMPANY LEGACY TOUR “Merce Cunningham was the great choreographer of our time. As part of his company’s closing “Legacy Tour,” they returned to Miami with a brilliant performance installation that featured the multi-disciplinary collaboration between Cunningham and Robert Rauschenberg. Exclusive to the Miami engagement were the Rauschenberg costumes worn by the dancers as well as the site-specific installation for the Ziff Ballet Opera House created by Miami’s Daniel Arsham. Cunningham Dance Company’s return was an outstanding opportunity to engage our community through the arts with outreach and educational events, including master classes, lecturedemonstrations, and “Merce Family Hour,” that were available to everyone throughout the engagement.” Alberto Ibargüen President and CEO, Knight Foundation WHERE THE VISUAL ARTS MEET THE PERFORMING ARTS 2010/2011 Art Basel Week At The Adrienne Arsht Center, The Lincoln Center List Collection In Miami, Merce Cunningham Dance Company Legacy Tour, Replica and Timeless: Photographs By Julian Lennon 15 16 THE SPARROW “The Sparrow was a wildly unique new work that thrilled us with intense drama and surprising innovation. It marked the launch of an ongoing partnership with the acclaimed House Theatre of Chicago and serves as a template for the Center’s collaborations with other not-for-profit local and national organizations—particularly those interested in commissioning, developing and presenting new work. In conjunction with Arsht Center Presents programming, arts partnerships enhance the Center’s mission to expand the quantity, quality, and diversity of programs, assuring a vibrant, ever-changing cultural scene each and every season.” Michael Spring JERRY SEINFELD “Proclaimed ‘the best comedian of our time’ by The Washington Post, Jerry Seinfeld belongs in that exclusive pantheon of great performers who, like Lucille Ball, Jackie Gleason, Bill Cosby, and Richard Pryor, define and entire era of American comedy. Although his award-winning TV sitcom made him a global superstar, his first love has always been stand-up, and it was only natural that the Adrienne Arsht Center would kick off its new Comedy Planet signature series with his brilliant humor. He sold out two performances back to back at the Knight Concert Hall and served as another brilliant entry in the long list of the world’s finest entertainers that the Adrienne Arsht Center brings to Miami year round.” Director, Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs Tomas P.

This group of 22 singers, dancers, and musicians performs all over the world and was appointed “Cultural Ambassadors of Black Peru” by the Peruvian government. Eva Ayllon, in her own right, is also a Peruvian musical icon, sharing the joy of our music for more than three decades. The scope of programming at the Arsht Center reflects the thrilling diversity of cultures throughout our South Florida community. Many of us may speak different languages and honor various traditions, but great art has the power to transcend the differences among us and unite us in its beauty.” Abigail Pollack FLORIDA GRAND OPERA, NEW WORLD SYMPHONY and MIAMI CITY BALLET “Miami City Ballet celebrated its 25th Anniversary with one of its most ambitious productions to date—a magnificent, critically acclaimed staging of John Cranko’s full-length Romeo and Juliet. The Florida Grand Opera marked 70 years of artistic achievements with the Miami premiere of a new opera by David DiChiera, Cyrano. New World Symphony, America’s Orchestral Academy, as always featured its brilliant young musicians—the classical music leaders of tomorrow—in a 23rd season full of orchestral favorites. The state-of-the-art Ziff Ballet Opera House and Knight Concert Hall—hailed as two of the best venues for classical music, opera and ballet in the country—serve as the best possible showcase for the outstanding contributions that these three exceptional arts institutions make to the cultural life of South Florida.” Performing Arts Center Trust Board Member Judy Weiser WORLD MUSIC 2010/2011 ADRIENNE ARSHT CENTER RESIDENT COMPANIES Balé Folclórico Da Bahia, Buika, Muñequitos De Matanzas and Peru Negro & Eva Ayllon Florida Grand Opera, Miami City Ballet and New World Symphony, America’s Orchestral Academy 19 Performing Arts Center Trust Board Member 20 3 GENERATIONS OF DIVAS Jane Monheit, Dianne Reeves, and Nikki Yanofsky “With four seasons of jazz stars performing for standing-room-only audiences, the Adrienne Arsht Center’s Jazz Roots series has been at the forefront of a thrilling resurgence of jazz throughout the United States. This season’s “3 Generations of Divas” embodied in one night one of the outstanding characteristics that has made Jazz Roots an instant critical and audience favorite. It looked to a future full of exciting possibilities while honoring the illustrious past of this uniquely American art form. In the tradition of jazz icons such as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and Sarah Vaughan, “Divas” placed the spotlight on three of today’s most talented jazz vocalists. Each one is a devoted keeper-of-the-flame, but at the same time each one brings a fresh, dynamic approach that ensures the evolution of this treasured music.” Ed Bell FREE GOSPEL SUNDAYS “We are a diverse community, but our mutual love of music and the bond between performers and audience during Free Gospel Sundays, regardless of age or culture, is a powerful force. This is why the audiences—15,000 to date—keeps growing each season. Free parking and free admission makes this roof-raising experience accessible to everyone in Miami. Gospel is a deep-rooted musical tradition here and it should be enjoyed by as many people as possible. Free Gospel Sundays showcases this cultural treasure. It makes it clear that the music – and the Adrienne Arsht Center – belongs to us all.” Pastor Marc Cooper Miami Mass Choir Director Producer/Host, WLRN Radio JAZZ ROOTS: A LARRY ROSEN JAZZ SERIES 2010/2011 OUTREACH 2010-2011 The American Songbook, Celebrating Miles, Descarga Latin Jam Session, An Evening With Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock and Jack Dejohnette, Guitar Virtuosos and 3 Generations Of Divas Free Family Fest, Free Gospel Sundays, Free Touch Tours For The Sight-Impaired and Free Tours In English & Spanish 21 22 ROCK ODYSSEY “This partnership between the Adrienne Arsht Center and Miami-Dade County Public Schools bridges the gap between a classroom education and a personal encounter with the performing arts. For three years, Rock Odyssey has become a rite of passage for Miami’s 26,000 fifth-graders. The show introduces them to Homer’s ancient Greek poem and – through professional development workshops and lesson plans – it provides a way for their teachers to use the power of drama to teach about math, science and other subjects critical to Florida’s Sunshine State Standards. The arts belong right up there with the three ‘Rs’ of education. It is every child’s inalienable right to experience the transformational power of the performing arts.” Alberto Carvalho Superintendent of Miami-Dade County Public Schools AILEYCAMP MIAMI “The Adrienne Arsht Center’s mission is to make the arts available to as wide an audience as possible through a variety of programs that include AileyCamp Miami, Free Gospel Sundays, Free Family Fest, and the far-reaching Learning Through The Arts, which so far has invited 75,000 Miami-Dade County students to a free live performance at the center.
