Barber, a former member of the multiple Grammy Award winning ensemble Chanticleer, is an eight-time Grammy nominee for his recent solo album Reimagined: Mercury. He has performed in 17 languages and appeared as a soloist on renowned stages including the Metropolitan Opera, Carnegie Hall, London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall, and Moscow’s Svetlanov Hall. “Barber has star quality,” noted the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Keelor, a Silver Palm and Carbonell award-winning actor, singer, and international soloist, has led productions nationwide in roles such as Snow White in Disenchanted, Trish in Kinky Boots, and the Beggar Woman in Sweeney Todd. The cast also features standout regional artists Brandon Glick on piano, Rick Kissinger on woodwinds, and Ian Wilkinson on violin, and select Florida performances include dancers from Preston Contemporary Dance Theatre. The production sets the mood with a replica backdrop of Paris’s Palais Garnier, the historic opera house linked to The Phantom of the Opera lore and its infamous chandelier mishap more than a century ago.

Yoga on the Main & The Market

Enjoy a feel-good yoga experience for all levels on the main lawn at Las Olas Oceanside Park. Settle into a slow, accessible flow on the green space with uplifting music to keep the energy moving, then sink into deep releasing poses enhanced by a light aromatherapy treat. The setting invites time to unwind, meditate, and restore under the palm trees. The class is led by Lisa Pumper, E-RYT 500 and YACEP, a resident teacher at the LOOP who has been teaching since 2000 and is the founder of Ft Lauderdale Beach Yoga and YCFL. Plan to bring a beach towel or blanket instead of a mat, as the practice takes place on a firm turf surface that supports smooth movement and balance. Sunglasses can be helpful. A cash donation is suggested to support the teacher, supplies, and setup assistance, but it is not required and no one is turned away for lack of funds. RSVP and a participation waiver are required. Hourly metered parking is available nearby, and some street lots around the park are private with a daily flat rate. After class, The Market and the beach are just steps away, with local food and artisan vendors and makers to explore. Because weather near the beach can change quickly, organizers monitor conditions closely and share alerts. If a session must be canceled, attendees are typically notified at least 60 minutes in advance unless an unforeseen emergency occurs, and ticket holders receive email updates.
