PULSE: Late Night at the New World Symphony
Miami Beach, FL – November 13, 2015 – The New World Center transformed into a late-night lounge—complete with club-style lighting and art videos— for Pulse: Late Night at the New World Symphony, an innovative event where the only rule is to connect with the music and its performers. Miami’s own DJ Le Spam and the Spam Allstars joined the New World Symphony Fellows for a night dedicated to jazz-influenced works and contemporary hits, including the world premiere of Sam Hyken’s new piece for the Allstars together with the orchestra, Ibakan. Soprano Dru Rutledge returned to Pulse by popular demand, performing show-stoppers by Leonard Bernstein and Cole Porter. The event was led by Conducting Fellow Christian Reif, and closed with a dance-inducing showcase set by DJ Le Spam and the Spam Allstars.
