BOCA RATON, FL:  Spanish River Concerts, the popular and lauded concert series that has enriched the South Florida music scene for over 20 years, will present a special event concert for two nights only on March 4th and 5th at the Spanish River Church.   Minds of the Masters will feature Israeli pianist Natalie Tenenbaum and violinist Filip Pogády.  These two master musicians will be joined by vocalists Daniel Montenegro and Maria Valdes, all accompanied by the Spanish River Orchestra under the direction of world-renowned conductor Tomer Adaddi.

“The genius of Natalie Tenenbaum defies simple description,” says Spanish River Concerts Executive Director Jeff Morgenstern. “While most artists choose a lane and stay within those lines, Natalie is like a force of nature, a musician’s musician, who can’t be pigeon-holed into any single style.  She’s a world class jazz, pop, and classical musician who blurs the lines between all of these and more.  Her technical proficiency and musicality are other-worldly.”

Critically acclaimed composer, pianist, music producer/director and singer-songwriter Natalie Tenenbaum is a graduate of the Juilliard School.  She has appeared as a soloist and with orchestras in Israel, Europe, Asia, and the United States, performing in such venues as the Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, Korea’s National Theater, Jerusalem Music Center, Berlin’s Konzerthaus, Madison Square Garden, and the Apollo Theatre.  She has performed her original compositions at Carnegie Hall, Harvard University, Merkin Hall, The National Arts Gallery (NY) and Juilliard’s Paul Hall.  A short video of Tenenbaum’s Michael Jackson ‘Mashup’ can be found here:  www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhDTLXtrRCg

Violinist Filip Pogády has been praised by the press for the “beauty of his tone”, “lightning-like virtuosity” (Russkoe Slovo) and his “commanding performances” (The New York Times). He has performed in some of the most renowned concert venues in the world including Lincoln Center (New York), Rudolphinum (Prague), Konzerthaus (Vienna), Tel Aviv Opera House, Kamakura Arts Center (Kamakura), Natori Arts Center (Tokyo), Lotte Hall (Seoul), and Seoul Arts Center.

“These are going to be two unforgettable concerts,” Morgenstern says, “with musical styles ranging from Gershwin to Michael Jackson.”

Tickets for both evenings are on sale now; ticket prices range from $48 to $94.   For more information, and/or to purchase tickets visit www.SpanishRiverConcerts.org or call the Spanish River Concerts box office at 800-716-6975.  To speak with anyone involved with Minds of the Masters, for more photos, or to arrange to see a performance, please contact Carol Kassie at carol@carolkassie.com / 561-445-9244.

BOCA RATON, FL:  Honoring its high standard of musical excellence, Spanish River Concerts’ 2024 Season will once again be comprised of uniquely original productions featuring many new performers – along with some familiar faces – in all new programs.  The season will begin in January with a tribute to some of Broadway’s greatest musicals. Subsequent concerts will feature Classic Rock, Pop, and a unique ‘mash-up’ of The Sound of Music and Les Miserables.  Three special events will feature the Jerusalem Tenors, Master Musicians (with a Q&A), and a tribute to New York’s iconic Brill Building.  (See below for more details.)

Spanish River Concerts’ musical director Tomer Adaddi, conducts the Spanish River Concerts Orchestra, along with a roster of top-tier singers.  Adaddi is a multi-award-winning composer, pianist, and musical producer who has collaborated with numerous international stars, including Andrea Bocelli, Michael Buble, Il Volo, and Mercedes Sossa, among others.

Nearly 20 years ago, when Florrie and Seymour Morgenstern first mobilized their friends to create Spanish River Concerts, their vision was to present four concerts for the shared enjoyment of their community.  The 2024 Spanish River Concerts line-up continues the Morgensterns’ legacy with four world-class concerts and three special event concerts that are sure to entertain and inspire. 

All concerts will begin at 8 pm on Mondays and Tuesdays, and will take place at the Spanish River Church, located at 2400 Yamato Road in Boca Raton (33431). Series and individual tickets will be on sale as of October 30th and will be available online at www.spanishriverconcerts.org.  Concert Series prices range from $167 to $338.  Tickets for individual concerts are also available and range in price from $48 – $94.  Discounts of 20% are available for groups of 8 or more.  Tickets can also be purchased by phone at 800-716-6975. 

For more information about Spanish River Concerts, or to arrange to attend a performance, contact Carol Kassie at carol@carolkassie.com / 561-445-9244.

The 2024 Spanish River Concerts Series:

Symphonic Broadway: The New Chapter (January 8, 9)
The Spanish River Orchestra conducted by Maestro Adaddi brings Broadway to Boca – the way it was meant to be heard! SRC veterans Marc Devigne, Chassey Bennett, and Justin Sargent welcome Broadway’s Adrienne Stiefel for an all-new revue, featuring favorites from the best musicals of the Great White Way, including Funny Girl, Wicked, Mamma Mia, Lion King, Hamilton, Michael Jackson – the Musical, and many more.

Classic Rock Hits on SRC RADIO (January 22, 23)
We love this collection of hits from the 60s, 70s, and 80s so much that we created SRC RADIO – our own fictional radio station to take you on a journey through the golden era of Classic Rock. Sit back and relax, or get up and dance to the greatest hits of Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, 3 Dog Night, Fleetwood Mac, Elton John, Tina Turner, Queen, and so many more. So don’t touch that dial because you don’t want to miss the Spanish River Orchestra and the amazing voices of rockers Brook Wood, Aaron LaVigne, Katie Boeck, and Dustin Brayley, delivering a rockin’ blockbuster as only Spanish River can!

Omer & Friends (February 19, 20)
Come see why our subscribers rave about the talent, charisma, and versatility Omer Shaish displays every time he walks on stage. Loved for his wonderful performances with Kol Esperanza and Four Best Men, Omer always brings his “A” game. This year, he introduces newcomers Ruby Lewis and Hila Zittoun to SRC, as they join him and the Spanish River Orchestra for an unforgettable evening of the beloved Popular, Broadway, Hebrew, and Yiddish songs that inspired his storied journey from Tel Aviv to Broadway.

Triumph of the Human Spirit  (March 18, 19)
This uplifting mash-up features the music of two of the most iconic musicals ever written. Individually, The Sound of Music and Les Miserables are musical masterpieces; but combine their incredible repertoire with Maestro Adaddi’s arrangements, and the magnificent voices of all-stars: David Burnham, Kathy Voytko, Randal Keith, Heidi Webster, and Andrew Ragone, and you have a season finale guaranteed to hold you over until 2025!

Special Events:

Jerusalem Tenors – with Special Guest (February 5, 6)
Back in 2014, we searched the globe for just the right voices to create the Jerusalem Tenors. Our audiences agree that Vladyslav Gorai, Felix Livshitz, and Alexander Gunko fit the bill perfectly. We thought this would be a wonderful time to reunite the tenors on our stage. They welcome special guest and longtime SRC favorite Betty Lipska for an evening of Hebrew, Yiddish, International, and Crossover music – all, of course, accompanied by the Spanish River Orchestra.

Minds of the Masters (March 4, 5)
Last season, Natalie Tenenbaum (piano) and Filip Pogady (violin) mesmerized our audiences with our Boundless Virtuosity program. We couldn’t wait to bring both of them back for an all-new production with the Spanish River Orchestra. This year’s program features the genius of Natalie and Filip, with the inimitable voices of San Francisco Opera alums Daniel Montenegro and Maria Valdez. This very approachable Classical, Popular, and Crossover concert appeals to any type of music-lover and will include a brief audience/artist Q&A segment to provide insight into the remarkable mindset that drives these world-class performers.

Brill-iance!  (March 11, 12)
The Brill Building in Manhattan was the epicenter of the American music scene from the World War II era through the 1960s. This site was home to some of the most prolific popular composers, many of whom went on to become well-known singer-songwriters and recording artists in the 1970s. In fact, Carole King, Paul Simon, Neil Diamond, Burt Bacharach, and Neil Sedaka all got their start in the Brill Building. Fabulous singers Jenna Rubaii, John-Mark McGaha, Nicole Kaplan, and David Toole join the Spanish River Orchestra to tell some of the Brill-insider stories and to celebrate the renowned artists who paid their dues at this historical institution.
