Both Concerts Will Start At 7:30 p.m. A Preconcert Chat With Dr. Alan Mason Will Take Place 30 Minutes Before The Show At The Parker Featuring In-Depth Conversation And Insights About The work And Composer. “Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 3 is a remarkable blend of virtuosity, energy and lyricism, while Bruckner’s ‘Romantic’ symphony offers rich orchestral colors and expansive melodies,” says Maestra Sebrina Alfonso. “These works have stood the test of time—one for its neoclassical brilliance and drive, the other for its majestic grandeur. Prokofiev’s concerto is a fearless, high-wire act that pushes the pianist with its relentless momentum and technical demands. We’re excited to bring our audience a provocative, invigorating concert that will hopefully leave us all uplifted as we conclude our 27th season.” With its dreamy-yetmodernist structure, Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953) remarked that his Piano Concerto No. 3 was “devilishly difficult.” A decade in the making, this popular work is beloved by audiences the world over, beautifully demonstrating Prokofiev’s genius and technical prowess. World class pianist Catherine Lan and frequent SFSO guest artist will be the featured soloist. Praised by critics as a pianist with “poise and artistry,” The Lancaster News, “fluent technique, sensitive musicianship and a probing intellect,” Palm Beach Daily News, Dr. Catherine Lan has performed worldwide and across the U.S. at prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall in New York, Orpheum Theatre in Vancouver, Kadriorg Palace in Tallinn, Buda Castle in Budapest, Temppeliaukio Church in Helsinki, Euphrasian Basilica, UNESCO in Porec, and Fitzwilliam Museum Cambridge. An avid chamber musician, she has collaborated with Itamar Zorman, James Buswell, David Requiro, Ayano Ninomiya, Aspen String Trio, Henschel String Quartet and Maxwell String Quartet. Her highly acclaimed performances have been broadcast on WLRN Public Television, “Beethoven Universal TV” series, Maine Public, Fu-Hsin Broadcasting Station and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Radio. Lan’s many creative projects include her work as the Founder and Artistic Leader of Duo Beaux Arts, Duo Arpeggione, Duo Formosa, Tallinn Piano Trio, Delray Piano Trio, Atlantic Piano Trio and Beaux Arts Chamber Ensemble. Her album credits include Incandescent Piano Recital, Centaur, Bach & Beethoven - Live & Unedited and Saint Saens Piano Concerto No. 2 with UBC Symphony Orchestra under Jesse Read. Born in Taiwan and raised in Canada, Lan received Bachelor of Music from University of British-Columbia, Master of Music from Indiana University, Bloomington and Doctor of Musical Arts from the University of Miami. Lan serves on the faculty at Broward College, and she is also the Director of Chamber Music for South Florida Symphony Orchestra. Anton Bruckner’s (1824-1896) Symphony No. 4, dubbed the “Romantic” will transport audiences to a lush soundscape bristling with Medieval romanticism. With its majestic brass fanfares and sweeping strings, Bruckner’s vivid orchestration concludes with a triumphant and uplifting finale. From sold-out masterworks performances to accompanying today’s musicians such as Natalie Merchant and performing modern musical scores, South Florida’s largest symphonic orchestra is continuing its journey of excellence inspiring audiences of all ages and musical genres. This season’s popular collaborations included performances of ARRIVAL From Sweden: The Music of ABBA and Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, featuring the iconic film screened live with audio and musical accompaniment.

A Sukkah In The Park - Jewish Community To Celebrate Sukkot Holiday Community Sukkahs At Miami-Dade Parks By Rabbi Moishe Kievman - Chabad Chayil Oct 8, 2025 As The Seasons Change From Summer To Fall And Families Spend More Time Inside, The Jewish Community Of South Florida Will Celebrate The Annual Holiday Of Sukkot By Heading Outdoors. Sukkot, Also Known As The Holiday Of Booths, Begins This Year (5786/2025) At Sundown On Monday, October 6th And Concludes On The Evening Of Monday, October 13th. The Two Day Holiday Of Shemini Atzeret And Simchat Torah Immediately Follows Sukkot, Beginning The Evening Of Monday, October 13th And Ending On The Evening Of Wednesday, October 15th. During Sukkot, we remember G-d's kindness to us during our journey through the desert by dwelling in a sukkah--a hut of temporary construction with a roof covering of branches--for the duration of the Sukkot festival. For seven days and nights, we eat all our meals in the sukkah and otherwise regard it as our home. The temporary booths emphasize how the world and the Jewish people rely on G-d’s protection. Eating under the stars allows us to truly thank G-d and see the blessings that surround us. Sukkot is a wonderful way for us to continue celebrating and connecting with our Judaism after the High Holidays. This year, Miami-Dade county has allowed the Jewish community to erect a Community Sukkah in the park. As this is going to print, there’s one being set up at Highland Lakes Park and few more in the works. The Parks Sukkah will be available to anyone throughout the holiday, whenever the park is open. Another unique holiday practice is the gathering of four different species. The taking of the Four Kinds: an Etrog (a rare citrus fruit, originally from Italy, but now also commonly grown in Morocco & Israel), a lulav (palm frond), hadassim (myrtles) and Aravot (willows), tied together with Lulav leafs. On each day of the festival, except for Shabbat, we take the Four Kinds, recite a blessing over them, bring them together in our hands and wave them in all six directions. The Four Kinds represent the diverse types and personalities that make up our community, and whose intrinsic unity we emphasize on Sukkot. Chabad Houses and many synagogues throughout Florida will be available to help each family plan a sukkah during the weeks leading up to the start of the holiday. They will also all be equipped with a Lulav & Etrog set for anyone to use, free of charge. Many Chabads will also have available Etrog and Lulav sets for you to order, as it is preferable to actually own your own set. They will be offering guidance and classes for all community members interested in learning how to put their Four Kinds together or learn more about the holiday. If you would like to learn how to bind together your own Lulav set, you can join me for a hands-on class on Sunday, October 5th, 10:00 a.m., right after daily Shacharit at Chabad Chayil in the Highland Lakes section of Miami North (West Aventura). The class will be free of charge and open to anyone who reserves at: www.ChabadChayil.org/Sukkah . Drawing from the gravity of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, Sukkot gives us the chance to celebrate the sweetness of nature and to thank G-d for His protection. Sukkot touches all five senses: the sweet smell of the Etrog, the feel of the palm branch and twigs in your hand, the sights and sounds of the sukkah around us and the taste of the festival’s feasts. Sukkot, referred to as the holiday of rejoicing, comes just five days after Yom Kippur, the day of atonement. The group of four plants, including the Etrog fruit, are replete with symbolic meaning, including the fall harvest and gathering season, and the unity of the Jewish people. We encourage you to contact your local Chabad or Synagogue to celebrate the holiday. You’re of course welcome to join us at Chabad Chayil for a community meal in the Sukkah, Shabbat or any of the holiday nights. Reservations can be made via: (305) 770-1919. Or: www.ChabadChayil.org/High-Holidays . You can also use our Sukkah any time of day or night 24/7. We’ll leave the lights on for you, and keep a set of Lulav and Etrog for use any time during the day. To learn more about the holiday, or to order a Lulav & Etrog, visit: www.ChabadChayil.org/Sukkah . About the Author: Rabbi Kievman together with his wife are the ambassadors of The Rebbe to Highland Lakes, FL. They are the founders of Gan Chabad Preschool, your local CTeen & CKids chapters, CHAP - an afterschool program for Jewish children in Public Schools and direct Chabad Chayil. He’s the Rabbi at The Family Shul and can be reached at: (305) 770-1919. Or: Rabbi@ChabadChayil.org . Previous Next
