Duke Ellington called his music not jazz, but “American Music,” and praised musical artists who impressed him as “beyond category.” Whether writing for the dance club or the concert hall, Ellington himself transcended these categories. You’ll hear the sublime results as the Henry Mancini Institute Orchestra revisits three of Ellington’s orchestral jewels, Three Black Kings, Harlem, and The River. Sponsored by Bacardi, USA.

MARLIN S FANS FEST

Feb. 10, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Location
501 Marlins Way
Miami, FL 33125
Map
Florida Marlins owner (and former Yankees All-Star) Derek Jeter has been shaking things up with the team almost since day one. Even the colorful and controversial home run sculpture that lights up with every ball knocked outta the park might be going away (honestly, with Giancarlo Stanton gone, that thing wasn’t going to be lighting up too much anyway). So best to get to the ballpark this weekend for the annual Marlins Fan Fest if you want to see it one last time. Baseball fans can also grab autographs at the fun festivities.
