The ever-happy Bobby McFerrin sings a symphony Wednesday, July 9
If you want to be a poet and actually feed yourself, you know you'll have to get a day job. But if you want to jump in full throttle and build a fan base, you might get a couple of pointers from the Entertainment Industry Incubator, an ongoing series of workshops for spoken-word artists that focuses on the business aspects of becoming a thriving performance poet. You can count on several producers and promoters to break things down for you, as well as words from a few of your fellow poets. You'll get tips on selling your image, getting into poetry slams, and publishing rights. You might also get a few pointers on how to set up events for people to throw money at you, such as organizing arts seminars with cover charges. The workshops begin at 6:00 p.m. at the MVP Bar and Grill, 16805 NW 12th Ave., Miami Gardens. Admission costs $10. Call 305-672-9297 to RSVP. (JCR)
Wednesday July 9
People who can't afford legal representation can stop worrying and start being happy. Conductor and annoying mouth-sound maker Bobby McFerrin is here to help. No, he hasn't changed careers and become an attorney. He'll just be in Miami to do a benefit concert for the Friends of Chamber Music, the Miami Chamber Symphony, and most important the University of Miami Law School's H.O.P.E. Project (Helping Others Through Pro Bono Efforts). The Chamber Orchestra of Hope, cellist William De Rosa, and McFerrin will play works by Prokofiev, Vivaldi, and Beethoven. De Rosa will play one cello on the Vivaldi piece and, oy, McFerrin will lend his voice as the other. Geez, there ought to be a law! Showtime is 7:30 p.m. at University of Miami's Gusman Concert Hall, 1314 Miller Dr., Coral Gables. Tickets cost $40 and $60 for the concert only; $100 gets you a VIP seat and entry to a private post-concert cocktail reception with the artists. Call 305-372-2975. (NK)
