Pulsed the Night Away at the New World Symphony

I was lucky to get some last minute tickets to the ever popular and sold out, Pulse: Late Night at the New World Symphony.

VIP Guests were treated to cocktails sponsored by Grey Goose on the rooftop of the impressive Gehry-designed New World Center concert hall. The views of Miami Beach were gorgeous but the best part of the evening was yet to come.
The NWS transforms the hall into a South Beach style nightclub! Combining NWS with the musical artistry of Mercury Soul made up of Jason Bates (the DJ), Anne Patterson (the Artist) and Maestro Benjamin Schwartz (Conductor). The trio brilliantly presents the public a new way of appreciating classical music and contemporary art in marvelous social setting.

I admit, I was treated to an amazing sensory experience. The group effortlessly blends symphonic arrangements with electronica rhythms which are magically enhanced by art installations, a lightshow and cinematic projections creating an ambience which I had yet to experience anywhere in Miami.
This was the second performance this year and from what I can tell, it was a huge success.
