Fourteen songs to prepare you for upcoming shows at the Arsht.
A new season at the Arsht Center is underway. To celebrate, we have created a playlist featuring artists, composers and songs that will be performed on our stages from now through next fall.
This season, the Arsht’s 19th, offers an especially rich and diverse array of contemporary, classical and timeless music. Across dozens of concerts and other musical events, audiences will experience new songs for the first time and hear familiar compositions interpreted in unexpected and rewarding ways. Many of these songs will entice listeners to leave their seats and dance, while others will require total attention. Some of them will demand both.
The following playlist offers but a sample of what this season has to offer. The songs are widely available online, including on Spotify and other streaming services.
