We're Taking our TALENT to the STREET...
... Flagler Street!
Flagler Street Stages:
• 159 E. Flagler Street • 132 E. Flagler Street |
Olympia Theater launches Street Stages, bringing FREE community programming to Downtown Miami’s Flagler Street on Friday and Saturday evenings through March 2021. Since we can’t present entertainment inside, Olympia brings the show outside so everyone can enjoy Miami’s talented Performing Artists in a safe, socially distanced, responsible way.
Every Friday and Saturday from 4:00p to 8:00p Singer/Songwriters, Jazz/Pop Ensembles, Jugglers, Electronica, Comedians, Opera and Performance Art pop up in front of Storefront Art Installations at two locations on East Flagler Street. Sets are short and a perfect fit between drinks and bites in Downtown restaurants and bars. Street Stages is part of the #Flagler District #SafeStreets / Alt-B initiative, activating vacant storefronts with Art, and is funded by Miami DDA, Miami-Dade County, Florida Division of Cultural Affairs and supported by Flagler District BID. |

@ 159 E. Flagler Street (ALFRED I DUPONT) Níl Muid a Reidh • Magic City Concordia "Níl Muid a Reidh was formed when a few lovers of Irish traditional music decided that Miami needed more of it after they met in a local Irish pub. This performance is presented by Magic City Concordia and modeled after the seisiún, an informal gathering of musicians playing tunes, or "choons" in Irish. Jesse Gilday grew to love trad music through his career as an Irish dancer. Also a classical clarinetist, he is inspired by his dance teacher, accordionist Niall O'Leary, as well as the likes of such whistle greats as Mary Bergin. Originally from Ireland, K. Pádraig O’Kane is a raconteur, uilleann piper, and renaissance man who likes to make those around him laugh when they are not too busy crying. Olivia Smith is a violinist based in Miami who has been fiddling since the age of 8 years old. Olivia also plays classical music and teaches both Irish fiddling and the Suzuki method." This talented ensemble of musicians starts our Street Stages weekend on Flagler Street with a celebratory St. Patrick’s Day salute, and wishes for clover, luck, and plenty of green. |
