Mother’s Day invites a slower morning: good conversation, a beautiful table, and a toast shared with intention.
Celebrate IlluminArts’ 12th Anniversary with an evening of art and music at The Betsy Hotel in Miami Beach. Known for curating intimate, high-caliber programs that bring artists and audiences together in unexpected ways, IlluminArts creates experiences where music, ideas, and community meet—spotlighting exceptional performers and bold collaborations across disciplines.
This anniversary program features soprano Elijah McCormack, the Amernet String Quartet, pianist Anna Fateeva, and multimedia artist Julia Zurilla. Together, they trace a journey from innocence to illusion to awakening through music by Britten, Glass, and Handel, woven into a shared performance that invites reflection, discovery, and connection.
Raised for his “cool control and warmth of tone” (The Washington Post), Elijah McCormack is a rising male soprano specializing in both operatic and concert repertoire. He has performed with leading ensembles including Seraphic Fire, Washington Bach Consort, Ensemble Altera, The Crossing, Ars Lyrica Houston, Dallas Bach Society, ANIMA Early Music, Staunton Music Festival, American Bach Soloists, and ChamberQUEER. He holds a Master’s degree in Historical Performance from Indiana University, where he studied with Steven Rickards. Elijah’s residency is curated in partnership with IlluminArts.
