From writer Ted Malawer (Red, White, & Royal Blue), Carbonell and Silver Palm Award Winning director Bruce Linser, and featuring stunning illustrations by multi-award-winning artist Bong Redila, Everything Beautiful Happens at Night is a tender, funny, and moving story about the life you have, the life you want, and who stays when the world gets quiet.

Each spring, the Chopin Foundation presents a showcase of outstanding piano students under the age of 18 from across South Florida. Students are nominated by their teachers and selected through audition by a panel of professionals to participate in this unique all-Chopin program—part of the Foundation’s mission to support and encourage the development of young American pianists.
The 2025–2026 season of CHOPIN for ALL continues with one of the series’ most cherished traditions: a special all-Chopin recital showcasing the best young pianists from South Florida. Selected through a competitive audition process, these exceptional students—recommended by their private piano teachers—take the stage to share their interpretations of Frédéric Chopin’s timeless music. Saturday’s program features performers from Broward and Palm Beach Counties at the African-American Research Library and Cultural Center, while Sunday’s concert highlights Miami-Dade students at Granada Church.
Join us for this inspiring program featuring the next generation of pianists.

The Chopin Foundation’s 2025–2026 season of CHOPIN for ALL concludes with an extraordinary guest: Canadian pianist Charles Richard-Hamelin, Silver Medalist and winner of the Krystian Zimerman Prize at the 2015 International Chopin Piano Competition. Praised for his expressive depth, elegant phrasing, and brilliant command of Chopin’s works, Richard-Hamelin is one of today’s most sought-after interpreters of Romantic piano repertoire. Join us as we close the season with a performance by one of the leading pianists of his generation.

Pianist Charles Richard-Hamelin is the Silver Medalist and winner of the Krystian Zimerman Prize at the 2015 International Chopin Piano Competition. He is one of Canada’s most acclaimed pianists, honored with the Ordre des arts et des lettres du Québec, the Prix Denise-Pelletier, and the Women’s Musical Club of Toronto’s Career Development Award.

Richard-Hamelin has performed as soloist with major Canadian orchestras as well as the Warsaw Philharmonic, Sinfonia Varsovia, Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony, and Singapore Symphony. He has appeared at leading international festivals including La Roque d’Anthéron, the Prague Spring Festival, and Chopin and His Europe in Warsaw.

FAB Grantee Program: Dance Now! Presents: Program III Featuring "Love-Less: Dance of the Last Moho Braccatus
2026-05-08 20:00 - 22:00 | Lauderhill Performing Arts Center, 3800 NW 11th Place, Lauderhill, Florida
Dance NOW! Miami Presents Program III, featuring “Love-less: Dance of the last Moho braccatus,” a world premiere from Co-Artistic Director Hannah Baumgarten. This contemporary ballet is based on the story of the small black-and-yellow Hawaiian songbird, facing extinction due to habitat destruction and climate change. “Love-less” is a contemporary dance depicting a real story of paradise lost, of true love, extinction and ultimately of the frailty of our world, with an original score based on the bird’s calls by Italian composer Federico Bonacossa, with costumes from the Morales Sisters, a stunning set high atop the trees from Bruce F. Brown and stirring video art by Co-Director Diego Salterini.
Ornithologists followed the plight of this endangered species as it careened toward extinction–but were hopeful as a pair of the birds resisted; therein remained a chance that the species would continue. The distinctive mating song of the last pair of these birds was recorded, with its call and response. In a tragic turn of events, a hurricane killed the female of the pair, the male unaware of her fate. The distinctive bell-like call was last heard and recorded in 1987 as the male partner called out for his mate, unable to understand why she did not respond.
The evening will also include audience favorites from the 26th season of dance.
This program is sponsored in part by the Broward County Cultural Division, Funding Arts Broward, Miami-Dade Department of Cultural Affairs, and other donors.

FAB Member Event: NSU Art Museum Presents: Surrounded Islands
2026-05-19 11:30 - 13:30 | NSU Art Museum | Fort Lauderdale, 1 East Las Olas Blvd., Fort Lauderdale, FL, 33301
NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale has been designated the permanent home of Surrounded Islands, the iconic 1983 environmental artwork by Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Beginning in February 2025, the museum will present a major exhibition featuring more than 43 preparatory drawings and collages, along with photographs, engineering plans, permits, original materials (including sections of the signature pink fabric), and archival documents that reveal the full creative process behind the project.
This significant gift from the Christo and Jeanne-Claude Foundation positions the museum among leading global institutions that house major works by the artists, reinforcing Fort Lauderdale’s status as an international arts destination. The installation itself—11 islands in Biscayne Bay encircled by 6.5 million square feet of pink floating fabric—lasted just two weeks in May 1983 but required years of planning, environmental coordination, and private funding by the artists.
Now preserved through this comprehensive archive, Surrounded Islands continues to inspire new generations, offering insight into the artists’ groundbreaking approach to large-scale, temporary public art and its lasting cultural impact on South Florida and beyond.
Following the tour, guests are invited to enjoy lunch at the Museum Café (optional, not included), offering a selection of sandwiches, salads, and refreshments in a relaxed setting. CLICK HERE for a preview of the Museum Café menu.

FAB Sponsored Program: Island City Stage Presents: Light Switch
2026-05-21 19:00 - 21:00 | Island City Stage, 2304 N Dixie Highway, Wilton Manors, Florida
We’re thrilled to support Island City Stage in bringing Light Switch by Dave Osmundsen to the stage—a fresh, heartfelt new play that celebrates the beauty of finding connection on your own terms.
Meet Henry Sullivan. He’s 27, gay, Autistic, and has read Wuthering Heights 67 times. He knows every sweeping, windswept scene by heart. But when it comes to modern dating? The rules aren’t quite as clear as a 19th century novel. Join Henry as he navigates love, heartbreak, identity, and acceptance—and discovers that the best love stories are the ones we write ourselves.
