It is a tribute to the community of allies, champions, and defenders who have given their time, talents, and hearts to help Broward County children build brighter futures.
Proceeds will support Voices as it expands its mission to ensure that every child and young adult in Broward County who has experienced abuse, neglect, or abandonment has access to essential resources and programs that promote long-term stability and well-being. Funds will help sustain year-round high-impact programs, ensuring children in foster care are seen, supported, and given the opportunity to thrive.

Since childhood, Sarah Rocca has been captivated by the power of imagery, the ability to freeze time and preserve memories through the art of painting with light. Her vivid imagination, once confined to the colorful worlds she envisioned as a child, found its voice through digital tools. This fusion of creativity and technology allowed Rocca to bring her unique perspective to life and share it with a broader audience.
Rocca’s use of color serves not only as a visual element but as a narrative device. Through her deliberate color choices, she conveys mood, emotion and unspoken subtext, inviting viewers to engage with each piece on a personal level. An Exploration of Color is a visual memoir, a journey through Rocca’s experiences of love, divorce, depression and joy. Each image encourages the viewer to reflect on how color influences their emotions and to interpret the story it tells through their own lens.

South Florida Symphony Orchestra Presents Mendelssohn and Beethoven at The Parker
2026-04-08 19:30 - 21:30 | The Parker, 707 Northeast 8th Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL, 33304, United States
Dark and stormy seas give way to sun-soaked skies during South Florida Symphony Orchestra’s (SFSO) 28th season of “Juxtapositions” closer at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 8, at The Parker in Fort Lauderdale (707 NE 8th Street). Led by award-winning music director Maestra Sebrina María Alfonso, SFSO presents Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture “Fingal’s Cave” which conjures the misty and mystic beauty of Scotland’s famed Isle of Staffa, and his Symphony No. 4, nicknamed the “Italian,” recalling the country’s natural beauty, radiating warmth and energy. Rounding out the program is Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4, a rich and nuanced affair, featuring acclaimed pianist Tao Lin. Enjoy a pre-concert chat with Dr. Alan Mason 30 minutes before the performance, featuring in-depth conversation and insights about the works and composers.
The awe-inducing rugged beauty of Fingal’s Cave, a sea cavern on the Isle of Staffa known for its natural acoustics, is the inspiration behind Mendelssohn’s stirring Hebrides Overture. Here, Mendelssohn deftly crafts a stunning portrait of Scotland’s crashing waves and misty and mysterious coastline, setting an early example of a tone poem (a standalone work that evokes a mood or sets a scene) in the process.
Nature strikes again in Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 4, nicknamed the “Italian.” Influenced by the brilliant blue skies of Italy, this sunny work bristles with energy and warmth. Its finale, a Saltarello – a lively Italian folk dance – is said to be inspired by the composer’s own Roman carnival adventures, where he was even “pelted with sugar candies.”
A solitary piano draws you into Beethoven’s Fourth Piano Concerto and turns tradition on its head. Frequent SFSO guest pianist Tao Lin performs this revolutionary work that replaces bravado with vulnerability through a delicate dialogue between piano and orchestra that swells into grand passages of triumph and vitality.
Described by critics as possessing “keen musical intelligence and excellent facility” (Miami Herald), “joyful virtuosity and stylish musicianship” (Gramophone magazine), as well as “opulent and romantic tone” (Fanfare), Chinese-American concert pianist and Steinway artist Tao Lin has performed in Asia, North America, and Europe with orchestras including Moscow Chamber, Winnipeg Symphony, Atlantic Classical, and Knoxville Civic. As a recitalist, he has appeared at Kennedy Center, National Gallery of Art, Rockefeller University, Chautauqua Institute, Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center, Minnesota Orchestra Hall, Izumi Hall (Osaka, Japan), and Edvard Grieg Museum in Norway. He has also appeared in concerts with Aspen Trio, Miami, Bergonzi, Alcon, Ying, Shanghai, and Rosalyra String Quartets, as well as distinguished musicians. A frequent pianist and lecturer at the Music Festival of the Hamptons, Mainly Mozart Festival, Music Mountain Chamber Music Festival, Arts Rolla Festival, Highlands-Cashiers Chamber Music Festival, and Festival Miami, Lin is currently an artist faculty member at the Bowdoin International Music Festival and is a visiting professor at Shanghai Normal University School of Music. A prolific recording artist, Lin can be heard on Naxos, Artek, Centaur, Romeo, Poinciana, and Piano Lovers labels, his recording of the complete music for Violin and Piano by Franz Schubert (with Violinist Tomas Cotik) was awarded Recording of the Year by MusicWeb International.
Tickets are now on sale beginning at $35 (plus ticketing fees). Purchase tickets online at southfloridasymphony.org or ParkerPlayhouse.com; by phone at (954) 462-0222, press 1; and in person at the Broward Center’s AutoNation Box Office.

Runners, walkers, families and community leaders of all ages will come together to take steps to raise funds and awareness to end hunger in South Florida at Vista View Park in Davie.
The signature event is part of Feeding South Florida’s year-long 45th anniversary celebration, commemorating over four decades of putting food on the tables of South Florida families who need it most.
Registration will begin at 6:30 a.m., and the Outrun Hunger 5K will start at 7:30 a.m. An award ceremony will take place after the walk/run. NBC 6 and Telemundo 51’s Community Reporter Miriam Tapia will emcee the event and engage with and energize the crowd.
The funds raised will support Feeding South Florida’s mission to end hunger in South Florida by providing immediate access to nutritious food, leading hunger and poverty advocacy efforts and transforming lives through innovative programming and education.
Currently, in South Florida, there are over 1.2 million food-insecure individuals, and one in nine individuals in South Florida remain uncertain about where they will get their next meal due to inflation, the strained supply chain, rising fuel prices and increased housing costs, among other factors.
Participants can join the event as an individual or a team. Those not participating in the walk/run may also support Feeding South Florida’s mission to fight food insecurity by creating a personalized fundraising page.
