In-person! Fire Museum Presents: Miramar
Fire Museum Presents: Miramar : Miramar reimagines the Latin bolero and carries the torch of bolero beat—a genre that rose to international fame in the 1960s by blending nostalgic ballads with psychedelic rock, bossa nova, funk, jazz, and more. An offshoot of the acclaimed indie-salsa band Bio Ritmo, Miramar was one of the first Latin bands to perform on NPR’s Tiny Desk and has since introduced its unique take on bolero to audiences worldwide, releasing music on two of Brooklyn’s most iconic independent labels: Barbès and Daptone Records. Their latest album, Entre Tus Flores , released on the historic tropical label Ansonia Records, was hailed by Staf Magazine (Spain) as “one of the greatest discoveries of recent years,” and praised by Lira Magazine (Sweden) as “crazy, updated, odd – and irresistible. ”Miramar’s undeniable magic lies in the chemistry between vocalist-songwriter Rei Álvarez and the “gran voz de la diva,” Laura Ann Singh. Their “heartbreaking vocals suck in every nerve” ( Lira ), and they “harmonize with such precision and grace that it’s hard to imagine a day when they didn’t sing together” ( Style Weekly ). The Álvarez–Singh duo is supported by a lush, dreamlike soundscape arranged by bandleader Marlysse Simmons-Argandoña, who alternates between piano and combo organs. As a full band, Miramar also includes Gary Kalar on electric guitar, Giustino Riccio on percussion, Dan Martinez on bass and occasional collaborates with string quartets and symphony orchestras. Its core members and collaborators are based between Richmond, San Juan, and Brooklyn. Admission is FREE, donations appreciated! - 2026-02-16📍 University City
In-person! Michael Prentky’s sad boy: ADD: apocalypse Album Release Tour 2026; with Ira Khonen Temple
Michael Prentky’s sad boy:ADD:apocalypse Album Release Tour 2026 with co headliner Ira Khonan Temple (based in NYC) Boston trombonist Michael Prentky is bringing his 12-piece orchestra across the Northeast U.S. and Canada, performing his debut genre-defying album. From January 17 - February 28th 2026, Boston-based trombonist Michael Prentky will tour his debut album, sad boy:ADD:apocalypse , across the Northeast U.S. and Canada. His orchestra includes a string quartet, 4 trombones, tuba, and rhythm section. Prentky will conduct, play trombone, sing, and recite original poetry. In addition to performing the entire album, Prentky will be premiering new original Klezmer compositions. He’s bringing a fresh perspective to Klezmer music with his high-energy trombone band and harmonically-rich compositions while staying rooted in Klezmer traditions. He'll be teaching audiences traditional corresponding Yiddish line dancing, such as the zhouk (aka hora ) and terkisher , with the intention of reviving endangered dance steps. Tour dates include La Sotterennea (Montreal, QC), The Phoenix Gallery (Waterbury, VT), AS220 (Providence, RI), Stone Circle Theater (NYC), the Rotunda (Philadelphia, PA), and ZUMIX (Boston). At various shows, Prentky will be joined by Kallisto , Ira Khonen Temple , and Jose Soto’s the Ancestral Call . “The subject matter is intense, but Prentky’s music is as satisfying as it is daring” – Noah Schaffer WBUR It’s an “adventurous extravaganza… Frank Zappa would’ve loved it” – Mike Greenblatt, Beyond Genre, Goldmine Magazine “Deep revealing of some personal feelings on these tracks, it’s a very nice work” – Ken Field WMBR Click here to listen to sad boy:ADD:apocalypse Click here if you would like to review sad boy:ADD:apocalypse January 17 - La Sotterenea (Montreal, Canada) with Kallisto January 24 - The Phoenix Gallery (Waterbury, VT) February 14 - AS220 (Providence, RI) - with Ira Khonen Temple February 15 - Stone Circle Theater (NYC) - with Ira Khonen Temple February 16 - The Rotunda (Philadelphia, PA) - with Ira Khonen Temple February 28 - ZUMIX (Boston, MA) - with Jose Soto’s Ancestral Call About sad boy:ADD:apocalypse : Six years in the making, Boston trombonist Michael Prentky’s debut album, sad boy:ADD:apocalypse, is an epic, Zappa-esque suite for small orchestra – string quartet, four trombones and rhythm section. This mammoth odyssey is Prentky’s unwavering commitment to authenticity. The writing is lush, emotive and cathartic. Prentky’s sonic worlds showcase his eclectic interests: dreamy Beach House guitar riffs, avant-pop orchestral strings, breakbeat klezmer, pacific brass chorales, confessional poetry and raucous instrumental frenzies. Prentky conducts the orchestra, plays trombone, sings, and recites original poetry. About Michael Prentky: Michael Prentky’s freelancing on trombone can be summarized in three words – chameleon, omnivore and polyglot. Navigating performances with rapper 50 Cent, Mozambican Funk band Kina Zoré (featured on NPR Tiny Desk), avante-garde jazz with the Walking Cliché Sextet, or Balkan Romani music with Sarma Brass Band requires an adventurous and flexible musicianship. It’s this musical synthesis that Prentky crystallizes in his artistic debut, sad boy:ADD:apocalypse . www.michaelprentky.com · www.michaelprentky.bandcamp.com · www.instagram.com/michaelprentky Michael Prentky - For German (Live in Cambridge, MA 2025) [Official Video] Michael Prentky - Have Your Laughs (Live in Cambridge, MA 2025) [Official Video] Michael Prentky - Terkisher?

2026-02-13📍 East ParkFriday Night Lounge
Friday Night Lounge transforms the Philadelphia Museum of Art into an evening destination with live music, gallery access, and drinks, offering a different perspective on one of America's great cultural institutions. The museum's origins trace to the 1876 Centennial Exposition, when Philadelphia hosted the nation's 100th birthday celebration in Fairmount Park. Nearly 10 million visitors experienced the world's fair, and afterward, the art gallery in Memorial Hall became the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art—founded to train craftsmen and elevate American design. As collections grew through major bequests, the museum required grander quarters, and in 1928 the current Greek Revival building opened atop Fairmount hill, designed collaboratively by Horace Trumbauer, Paul Cret, and the firm of Zantzinger, Borie, and Medary, with perspective drawings by Julian Abele, one of few opportunities for an African American architect at the time. The building's monumental steps, later immortalized in the Rocky films, lead to over 240,000 objects spanning 2,000 years of creative achievement. Friday evenings invite visitors to experience masterworks from Thomas Eakins to Marcel Duchamp alongside contemporary performances, extending the museum's founding democratic mission of bringing art to the public.
