“Hermitage Sunsets @ Selby Gardens: The Rising Stars of Jazz and Soul,” featuring Hermitage Greenfield Prize Finalist Britton Smith and Hermitage Fellow Adam O’Farrill, Thursday, January 29, 5:30pm: Descended from Latin jazz royalty, Hermitage Fellow Adam O’Farrill is a composer, bandleader, and trumpeter who has been hailed by The New York Times as “a blazing young trumpet player” and “perhaps the music’s next major improviser.” Known for his uniquely personal style, O’Farrill has been widely recognized in the jazz community as a rising star of the genre. Returning Hermitage Fellow Britton Smith, a Tony Award-winning Broadway performer and leader of the self-described “funk liberation band” Britton and the Sting, has been called a “force to be reckoned with” and a “tornado of talent and energy” by Broadway World. These two dynamic musical artists will share the Hermitage stage at Selby Gardens for an unforgettable night of stripped-down music featuring two creative forces breaking boundaries in the worlds of jazz and soul. Presented in partnership with Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. Registration is required at HermitageArtistRetreat.org ($5/person registration fee). Marie Selby Botanical Gardens Downtown Campus, 1534 Mound St., Sarasota, FL 34234

Southeastern Premiere. In this heartwarming tale, a man visits a tailor to have his suit pants let out after realizing he's gained some weight since he last wore them. What starts as a simple alteration turns into a transformative journey. Through their deepening conversations both their lives are altered. A Tailor Near Me is a story of self-discovery, friendship, and the magic of a perfectly tailored suit.

Southeastern Premiere. When President Kennedy vowed to put a man on the moon, the task landed in the hands of a band of maverick engineers – once the misfits of American science. With no rulebook, they embraced “blue-skying,” drawing inspiration from Buck Rogers, Greek myths, Louis Leakey, and even Snoopy and the Red Baron. An exhilarating ride through the wild imagination that made one giant leap possible!
