Virtuoso Pianist Jace Vek & Renowned Guitarist Jimi Cokinos
to perform in concert
at|
Arts Garage
January 21^st

January’s Jace Vek Experience at Delray’s Arts Garage will feature a fusion:  Two artists from completely different backgrounds will combine their talents to explore, create, and perform in a unique concert – inviting their audience to join them in their discovery of bold new sounds.

Composer and concert pianist Jace Vek has built a critically acclaimed career on combining different genres to create unique compositions; electric guitarist Jimi Cokinos has been called original and innovative:

“This is a live music event I have created exclusively for Arts Garage. On January 21^st you will see and hear two completely different worlds of music collide on that stage,” says Vek.
Vekʼs original music is a piano driven world of sound, backed by a digital symphony orchestra. The original music composed and produced by Jace is a bold mixture of multiple styles – most notably:  neo-classical, new-age, electronic, symphonic rock, trance, and dubstep.

Jimi Cokinos is an electric guitarist with an eclectic talent. His music ranges through many different styles including, sweeping guitar leads, punk, rock, jazz, heavy metal, hardcore, thrash, and more. Jimi has had an extensive career in production and has worked in numerous capacities with many great artists including Fuel, Destinyʼs Child, Creed, Janet Jackson, James Taylor, Kylie Monogue and many others. Jimi has also worked with various artists on television shows such as The Ellen Degeneres Show, American Idol, Good Morning America, and Conan O’Brien.

In addition to his new music, Jace Vek will perform a set of his own arrangements of the music of Journey, Metallica, Smashing Pumpkins, Pink Floyd and others.

“I have taken these well known pieces from these great bands, and turned them inside out for the piano. Itʼs fun to explore these melodies,” says Vek. “There are such beautiful melodies going on in these pieces, and the naked piano exposes them.”

Arts Garage is a multi-disciplinary cultural hub for musicians, performers, film presenters and visual artists. The mission of the Arts Garage is to collaborate with emerging artists and cultural innovators to facilitate an exchange of art and ideas and to present cutting-edge, interdisciplinary performances and exhibitions.

As always, audiences are encouraged to BYOW (Bring Your Own Whatever!) to enjoy during performances.

Combining the piano with the latest cutting edge digital musical technology, the audience will see and hear Jace perform on the grand piano while accompanied by an array of sounds, including symphony and electronic fusions of beats, bass and rhythms.

“I have spent my life attempting to master music, only to discover that
music has mastered me.”   –  Jace Vek

The Studio at Mizner Park
January 26^th –February 12th

Parade Productions, Boca Raton’s newest theatre company, has completed casting for their upcoming production of Brooklyn Boy.  Artistic Director Kim St. Leon and Producing Director Candace Caplin are extremely pleased with their cast: “It took us a while,” says Caplin, “we refused to ‘settle’ – and we’re delighted with each and every one of our choices.”

Brooklyn Boy has been called one of Donald Margulies’ funniest and most moving plays. With sparkling dialogue, humor, and just the right amount of poignancy, the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright examines the consequences of success and reminds us that nobody’s journey through life can be made without some bad decisions, wrong directions, or regrets.

Kim St. Leon, who will direct the production, brings over 35 years of stage, television, and film experience to the company.   Among her many stage credits are acclaimed productions of Faith Healer at Inside/Out Theater, Nine Parts of Desire and The Memory of Water at the Mosaic Theater, many seasons of City Theatre’s “Summer Shorts”, the world premiere of Men Don’t Go to Heaven for the Alchemy Theater Company, Zombie Prom and Five Women Wearing the Same Dress  at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, and the award winning regional production of Frankie and Johnny at the Claire De Lune.

“Brooklyn Boy spoke to me on so many levels,” says St. Leon. “It’s about family forgiveness, acceptance, the crazy artist life… But it’s especially about parents and children – how we have written on each other with words and deeds, and how patterns and ways families communicate are passed on from generation to generation.”

Avi Hoffman will star as author Eric Weiss, who discovers his new-found success and celebrity comes with some unexpected complications.  Hoffman is one of South Florida’s busiest and most popular actors. He is celebrated for his award-winning one man shows Too Jewish? and Too Jewish, Too!, broadcast nationally on PBS. His newest show Still Jewish After All These Years is scheduled to open in New York in May 2012. The multi-talented Hoffman is the founder of the National Center for Jewish Cultural Arts and the New Vista Theatre. He recently directed As Bees in Honey Drown at Rising Action Theatre and has just completed an extremely successful turn as Wilber Turnblad in the Actor’s Playhouse production of Hairspray.

Michael Gioia (Ira Zimmer) is well known to South Florida audiences.  He is the owner and Executive Director of The Acting School of South Florida, holds an M.F.A. from the University of Florida, and is a member of Actors’ Equity Association and the Screen Actors’ Guild.  He has worked as an actor or director in over 75 productions in theatre and film.

Ryan Didato (Tyler Shaw) holds a BFA in acting from New World School of the Arts.  His recent appearance as Mark Rothko’s assistant Ken in Red at Gablestage earned him rave reviews from audiences and critics alike. Some of his other South Florida credits include The Irish Curse at Mosaic Theatre (Silver Palm, Best Ensemble), Speech and Debate at Gablestage (Carbonell nominated, Best Ensemble), and Camp Kappawanna for City Theatre.

Rounding out the impressive Brooklyn Boy cast are Jacqueline Laggy, Sy Fish, Blaze Powers, and Candace Caplin.

Parade Productions is a not-for profit theatre company whose mission is “To produce high quality theatre experiences that entertain, enlighten, inform, uplift, and inspire audiences, sending them home with new thoughts, insights, questions, and ideas.”

Brooklyn Boy will open January 26^th, 2012, and will run through February 12^th, with performances Thursday through Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m. Ticket prices are $30 ($25 for groups of 20 or more). Tickets are available on line at www.paradeproductions.org.  For Group Sales call: 561-291-9678.

Arts Garage first full season of jazz entertainment, performing arts, and art exhibitions continues to attract large audiences

DELRAY BEACH, Florida/November 2, 2011:

Delray Beach’s Arts Garage has quickly become the city’s ‘go to’ spot for a diverse selection of music, art, performance, and entertainment, and the venue’s programming for November and December illustrates beyond a doubt that Arts Garage is now a force to be reckoned with in the South Florida cultural community.

Arts Garage’ casual ambiance, easy accessibility, and the intimacy of the multi-disciplinary performance and exhibition venue – coupled with its B.Y.O.W. (Bring Your Own Whatever!) policy further enhances its success by attracting a wide-ranging audience.  “Our audience trusts us when it comes to our diverse line-up of programming,” says Alyona Ushe, Executive Director of Creative City Collaborative (The Collaborative) at Arts Garage. “We ask our patrons to step outside their comfort zone and attend a program that might not be familiar to them.”  The request has stood Arts Garage in good stead – performances are selling out.

November and December programming will once again offer audiences an eclectic array of choices:  Arts Garage’ acclaimed Jazz Project continues, as does The Jace Vek Experience, Classical Explosion, and Divas in Art.  Puppetry Rampage and Urban Underground are making their debuts; and a new art exhibition will be on display.

NOVEMBER/DECEMBER ARTS GARAGE PROGRAMS:

Friday, November 4, 2011, 9 PM: Puppetry Rampage – The Slam!
Beware – “this ain’t no kiddie show!”
Presented in collaboration with Puppet Network & World and Eye Arts Center.

Saturday, November 5, 2011, 6 PM:  Ian Maksin – Cello of the 21^st Century
Described by critics as “Bocelli of the Cello,” cellist and composer Ian Maksin kicks off his Florida solo tour at Arts Garage. Known for his intense and passionate performances, this talented young musician covers a wide array of works. He has collaborated with artists such as Sting, Andrea Bocelli, P. Diddy, Snoop Dogg, Gloria Estefan, and the Beach Boys, Riverdance and Cirque du Soleil. Ian has performed as a soloist with numerous orchestras around the world, as well as at many international music festivals such as Ravenna, Spoleto, and the White Nights Festival in his native St. Petersburg, Russia. He has appeared at Lollapalooza and on MTV. Ian recently returned from his sold-out European tour, where he captivated audiences with his unique style and hauntingly beautiful sound.

Saturday, November 5, 2011, 9 PM – Urban Underground
Arts Garage’ newest signature series, Urban Underground concerts offer audiences an exciting blend of R & B, Reggae, Jazz, and Hip-Hop, and showcase some of the area’s finest local and regional musicians performing with Arts Garage’ own house band.  The first in our Urban Underground series features Hip-hop artist Eric Biddines with special guest Chloe Dolandis – backed by Arts Garage house band.

He has appeared in recitals, in chamber music, as concerto soloist with major symphony orchestras, and at Jazz Festivals throughout the United States. Chappell and Gershwin’s classic Rhapsody in Blue – a perfect combination.

“Some rise above their colleagues in how well and originally they communicate.  One of the latter is Jeffrey Chappell.  His program…was one of the finest this writer has heard.” – New York Times

“Jeffrey Chappell, soloist in Rhapsody in Blue, stylistically was one of the most persuasive pianists I’ve heard.” – Houston Chronicle

Saturday, November 12, 2011, 8 PM: Jazz Project ~ Troy Anderson and the Wonderful World Band
Troy Anderson brings Louis ‘Satchmo’ Armstrong to life in a stirring and loving tribute to the world’s greatest great jazz icon. Anderson, trumpet player extraordinaire, has performed and starred as Louis Armstrong with the Gold Coast Jazz Society’s Music Series, and around the United States. For three years he was the lead trumpet with the 2AD(FWD) U.S. Army Jazz Show Band, and it was during that time he was asked by the Army’s Command Sergeant  to put together a show featuring nothing but Louis Armstrong’s greatest hits.  From that assignment the Wonderful World Tribute Band was born.

“Anderson is simply amazing as Louis Armstrong.” Stu Grant, South Florida Jazz Radio personality.

Friday, November 18, 2011, 7:30 PM: Inner Reflections – a Solo Art Exhibition featuring Aida Tejada
Inner Reflections – the opening night reception for a Solo Art Exhibition featuring the work of Aida Tejada. Mounted in collaboration with Alliance Française.

“Sometimes, your everyday life is esthetically transformed… When common objects are presented in a new perspective, they awake feelings ranging from euphoria to depression and from serenity to restlessness. The images in this project are everyday objects that cross my gaze at home and elsewhere. Objects that are often abandoned, ignored or taken for granted.  The city images are common buildings in ordinary streets. To achieve the desired effect, I create textures and artful compositions with daylight, my camera’s movements, and different reflecting surfaces.” Aida Tejada, Inner Reflections.

Saturday, November 19, 2011, 8 PM: The Jace Vek Experience – The Power of the Piano – Reborn
A unique and original vision of brand new music from Emmy-Award winning composer, concert pianist, and recording artist Jace Vek.  Blurring boundaries of age and culture, The Jace Vek Experience allows the audience an intimate and candid look into the creation of Jace’s music, what inspires him, and his attitude towards the creation of his phenomenal musical productions for piano, symphony orchestra and modern electronica.

“When I am making music and sharing it, it is a reflection of something which is a pure instinct .   Wherever I am, whether it is standing on an ocean shore, or in a line at a supermarket deli waiting for my number to be called – I hear music in my head.  It’s not something I can “turn on”, or “turn off”  it is simply there – And as such, sometimes it feels like I can hardly take credit for it;  because it just happens.”  –  Jace Vek

Friday, November 25, 2011, 7:30 PM – Delray Beach String Quartet
The Delray String Quartet has clearly established itself as one of the cultural jewels of Delray Beach and of South Florida. Performing regularly across the region, The Delray String Quartet has been described by the press is as “well-balanced and elegant”, “adding luster to the South Florida music scene”, “with the players ripping into the music with savage abandon.”

Saturday, November 26, 2011, 8 PM: Jazz Project ~ Frederico Britos – Back by Popular Demand!
There is no greater proof of the universality of jazz and classical music than that which embodies the career and life work of Federico Britos.  A four time Grammy Award winner, Federico began playing violin at age five in his native Uruguay. Britos has served as principal chair, soloist, and ultimately Concert Master with some of the great symphony orchestras of Uruguay, Venezuela, Peru, and Cuba.  During his distinguished career, Federico has performed with greats Frank Sinatra, Duke Ellington, Chick Corea, Charles Mingus, and Piazzola.

“Although Federico’s prowess on the violin is readily vast in technique and passion, his real musical power stems from the simplicity of delivering easy melodic waves of music that inspire and entertain within the context of Jazz.”  Bobby Ramirez, Jazzonian

Sunday, November 27, 2011, 7 PM: Divas in Art
Outrageously marvelous and consistently captivating – those Divine Divas – Ricky Rollick Klimas, Melissa St. John, and Roxi DeVine will once again grace the stage at Delray’s hottest new cabaret.  These fabulous female illusionists will keep you laughing, entranced and totally entertained!

Creative City Collaborative premieres its first season of jazz entertainment, performing arts, and art exhibitions at the Arts Garage, Delray’s unique multi-disciplinary arts facility.

DELRAY BEACH, Florida/September 23, 2011:
Arts Garage, the wildly successful brainchild of the Creative City Collaborative (The Collaborative), has become the venue of choice for a diverse array of local, national, and international performers as well as a preferred destination for South Florida arts seekers and aficionados.  Opened in April 2011, Arts Garage is a 5,500 square-foot facility designed specifically for multi-disciplinary art performances and exhibitions.

Arts Garage is managed and programmed by The Collaborative, whose mission is to engage emerging artists and cultural innovators; to facilitate an exchange of art and ideas; and to present cutting-edge, interdisciplinary performances and exhibitions. Its goal is to transform Delray Beach into a boutique metropolitan city through arts and culture, and to become a premiere venue for artists and patrons alike. Centrally located in the heart of beautiful Delray Beach, the Arts Garage’ casually intimate ambiance perfectly reflects the downtown feel of the City.  Patrons particularly enjoy the B.Y.O.W. (Bring Your Own Whatever!) policy, whereby they are encouraged to bring their own beverages and snacks to enjoy during performances.

The Collaborative is pleased to announce it will launch its first full performing arts season in October. The season will be divided into three segments:  Fall-Winter: October – January; Winter-Spring: February – May; and Summer: June – September.

The Fall-Winter season will begin with live.arts. This – the Collaborative’s signature production – will encompass an array of artistic disciplines including spoken word, movement, music, and live visual arts creation.  The Collaborative’s core team of distinguished artists will use the theme of Creation to explore their various art forms. Patrons will be invited to Meet and Greet the Artists and key Arts Garage staff members during a wine and cheese reception following the performances.  “live.arts. embodies our vision of bringing all art forms together not only under one roof, but onto one stage,” says Alyona Ushe, The Collaborative’s Executive Director.  “This evening is very special to us, since it will introduce the audience to the Arts Garage’ creative and administrative team.”

The Fall-Winter season will also expand the Collaborative’s sold-out Jazz Project series to include icons as well as legend-in-the making jazz vocalists, violinists, saxophonists and concert pianists. Some of last year’s favorite performers will return, including JESSE JONES, JR., four time Grammy Award winner FEDERICO BRITOS, and two time Latin Grammy Award winner ED CALLE.  Legendary jazz vocalist NICOLE HENRY will kick off The Jazz Project season, and an array of new jazz luminaries will follow: TROY ANDERSON AND THE WONDERFUL WORLD BAND, PAULETTE DOZIER, ERIC ALLISON QUARTET and WENDY PEDERSEN.  Season subscriptions are available and include a complementary ticket(s) to any other performance at Arts Garage (pending availability).

Other exciting new Arts Garage series will include Classical Explosion, a chamber music series presented in collaboration with the South Florida Symphony Orchestra; Divas in Art, Delray’s newest cabaret featuring entertainment by female illusionists; and The Jace Vek Experience, starring Emmy award winning composer and concert pianist Jace Vek. Combining the piano with the latest cutting edge digital musical technology, Jace will perform his own compositions accompanied by a captivatingly eclectic assortment of sounds – from symphonic to electronic fusion.  “Jace brings an exciting new dimension to Arts Garage programming,” says Ushe.  “Delray is a magnet for creative forces, and Arts Garage is a perfect stage for exploration and creativity.  Jace personifies both concepts with a vengeance!”

Urban Underground is the newest signature series at Arts Garage.  Scheduled to begin in November, Urban Underground concerts will offer an exciting blend of R & B, Reggae, Jazz, and Hip-Hop, and will showcase some of the area’s finest local and regional musicians performing with Arts Garage’ own house band.  The December 3^rd concert will feature Palm Beach County musician Eric Biddines, who has been compared to Outkast and Cee-lo. Biddines has released a successful mixtape, “Da Coffee Shop” and recently the EP “A Story About Love.” Featured on regional radio and in some of the hottest nightspots, ‘Eric B’ is one of the future leaders of Hip-Hop!

Other new partnerships are also in the works:  On October 9^th, The Collaborative and the Alliance Française will feature Guillaume Vincent, winner of France’s prestigious Long-Thibaud competition.   On November 4^th, Puppet Rampage – The Slam! will be presented in collaboration with Puppet Network & World and Eye Arts Center. (Be aware – “this ain’t no kiddie show!”)  And on December 3^rd, The Collaborative will partner with the Palm Beach Opera to present A Taste of Opera featuring opera’s most beloved arias, duets and ensembles, including excerpts from Palm Beach Opera’s current season, musical theater favorites and standard American songs.
