Two honored musicians will take the stage together as part of the “Five After Five” promotion at the Miami International Art Fair (MIA), January 7-10 at the Miami Beach Convention Center. David and Lee Ann Lester, International Fine Art Expositions founders and organizers of MIA, Art Palm Beach (APB), American International Fine Art Fair (AIFAF) and the Naples International Art and Antique Fair (NIAAF) are pleased to announce $5 admission for fairgoers who arrive after 5 p.m.
MIA is delighted to welcome Billboard award winner and Latin Grammy nominee Roberto Perera and Grammy nominee Bobby T for two special musical performances in conjunction with “Five After Five.” The Uruguay-native Perera is a master of the Paraguayan Harp, a 36-string traditional instrument that is also the national instrument of Paraguay.
Perera partners at MIA with Bobby T, who has carved out a niche as a renowned hand percussionist. Together they play a blend of rapidly improvising rhythms, creating a unique mix of music that is at once exotic, irresistible and uplifting.
The artists will perform together Saturday, Jan. 9 from 7-9 p.m. and Sunday, Jan. 10 from 6-8 p.m. Fairgoers are invit
ed to sip cocktails in MIA’s Center Court while taking in the distinctive music.
“‘Five After Five’ will allow the public to get a taste of the fair experience for a reduced admission price,” said Lee Ann Lester, fair organizer. “We are pleased to welcome these two noted musicians to MIA to provide fairgoers with an artistic experience of a different kind. Their performances, coupled with ‘Five After Five,’ will attract a new, younger audience to the fair.”
Regular admission to MIA is $15 for a single day, and $20 for a multi-day pass. The fair is open Jan. 7-10 from noon to eight (noon to nine on Friday and Saturday).
