We Interrupt Your Saturday --- to Bring You Mike Block, Live in Vero Beach

Oh shoot—we almost missed this one and are pretty sure you did too! With so many listings and the constant blur of social media, it’s easy to miss out on the truly extraordinary things going on. This one's rare. Kudos to Barbara Ruddy, longtime friend of Mike Block, for bringing this to our attention.

If you're plans aren't locked in -- tonight at 7:30, Grammy-winning Mike Block leads a world-class ensemble of over 100 young musicians from around the globe right here in Vero Beach.

Whether you’re into indie, folk, pop, or just love discovering fresh, boundary-pushing sounds, this evening will deliver a full-on, immersive music fest experience. Expect lots of improv and unexpected twists.

Block's sets have been described by the New York Times as “half dance, half dare”—a visual and musical experience that’s anything but ordinary. And Yo-Yo Ma praised him as the “ideal musician of the 21st century.”

Thanks to Jacob Craig for the venue -- the concert starts at 7:30 PM at First Presbyterian Church -- 520 Royal Palm Boulevard. It's free and open to the public, donations welcome.

We look forward to seeing you there! And if you can't make it tonight, we will give you more advance notice next year.

It's easy to miss, but Vero boasts a world-class music line-up -- everything from the Atlantic Classical Orchestra and Indian River Symphonic Association to the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, plus an amazing local scene with venues like Grind + Grape, Kilted Mermaid, Walking Tree Brewery, Havana Nights Piano Bar, Riverside Café, Live in the Loop at Riverside Theatre, and more.
