Jazz at MOCA, North Miami

The long-running, popular – and free – Jazz at MOCA has been a fixture in the North Miami community and Miami's music scene for more than two decades.

The monthly event presented by the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami features an exciting lineup of South Florida musicians playing on the last Friday of every month at 8 p.m.

Pioneer Winter Collective will premiere a new version of its critically acclaimed dance-theater performance Birds of Paradise. This new iteration blends Pioneer Winter’s choreography with live poetry by Arsimmer McCoy and music by Diego Melgar. Birds of Paradise confronts our notions of dance by exploring movement with people of varied physical ability, body type, gender identity, race, ethnicity, and experiences.

Arrive by 7 p.m. to enjoy the Museum galleries which open at 7 p.m. and remain open until 10 p.m.  The outdoor MOCA Plaza always features rotating monthly installations as part of their Art on the Plaza series, the last Friday of the month.

Note: Tickets are free, registration requested; seating is first-come, first-served but you can bring your own chair, plus you can visit the museum on a pay-as-you-wish basis 7-10 p.m.

The monthly concert series is offered free of charge at the MOCA Plaza, 770 NE 125th St., North Miami. Free Parking is available immediately east, west, and south of the museum. Handicap parking behind the museum, enter NE 8th Avenue, make the first right into parking lot.
