Nu Deco Ensemble at the Miami Beach Bandshell
Nu Deco Ensemble is kicking off 2026 with a genre-bending concert that puts hip-hop and classical music in direct conversation.

As is the case with most of the ensemble’s concerts, a special guest artist will join. This time, Lupe Fiasco will collab with the collective in a number blending the rapper’s lyricism with Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5. 8 p.m. at the Miami Beach Bandshell, 7275 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 305-672-5202; miamibeachbandshell.com.
