Nu Deco Lounge: 50 Years of Hip-Hop
Fri Feb 9, 7:00 PM - Fri Feb 9, 9:30 PM

On Aug. 11, 1973, DJ Kool Herc created continuous break-beats by working two turntables during a party in the Bronx, changing the course of musical history forever. This performance celebrates the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop, a genre that has shaped everything from the clothes we wear, to the way we speak, to how we listen to and connect through music today.

Nu Deco Ensemble engages the Miami community in dynamic ways to serve and enrich all walks of our diverse culture and people. The orchestra inspires and engages over 10,000 children annually through their interactive Imagination Series and annually brings hundreds of community members from underserved communities to attend performances. In the Spring of 2020, Nu Deco Ensemble launched its youth ensemble which in addition to instruction in classical and popular musical styles, arranging, composition, and improvisation offers coaching in wellness, health, leadership, collaborative communication, interpersonal skills, and community stewardship.
