Get Ready to Be Amazed
Festival of the Arts BOCA is an extraordinary, multi-day cultural arts event bringing excitement and new experiences to The Palm Beaches. Audiences will delight in some of the world's most sought-after classical and contemporary performers, as well as award-winning authors and speakers, cirque performances, story slams and film screenings. If you needed any more proof that The Palm Beaches are Florida's Cultural Capital®, Festival of the Arts BOCA is it!
The festival's 13th installation is dubbed "A Season of Heroes," and the star-studded lineup delivers the goods. Constantine Kitsopoulos conducts a Beethoven Birthday Bash in honor of the composer's 250th birthday, featuring works celebrating heroism. Renowned classical guitarist Miloš, dubbed "the hottest guitarist in the world," will demonstrate his prodigious talent with "Voice of the Guitar" – a musical journey featuring songs by legends like Leonard Cohen and The Beatles. And speaking of legends, Postmodern Jukebox will bring its retro musical stylings to Mizner Park Amphitheater, showcasing an eclectic repertoire ranging from Motown to modern pop hits.
Gifted raconteurs will compete in The Moth StorySLAM, an open storytelling competition featuring five-minute performances. See incredible feats of acrobatics and dance at Cirque du Cinema. And enjoy a screening of The Empire Strikes Back, accompanied by a live orchestra!
The Authors & Ideas roster at this year's Festival of the Arts BOCA includes National Book Award-winning novelist Jesmyn Ward, New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast, Yale psychology professor Laurie Santos, and political analyst Amy Walter. Also on the schedule is Nu Deco Ensemble, which made its electrifying debut at last year's festival, and a screening of Forte, an ensemble documentary centering on female classical musicians.
From opening to closing, this is a 10-day festival of world-class performers, musicians, films, writers and all things culture – BOCA style!
