Miami Dade College and CINTAS Foundation Announce Start of 2011 – 2012 Music ...
Online PR News – 17-July-2011 –Miami, July 8, 2011 – Miami Dade College (MDC) and the CINTAS Foundation, the new home of the CINTAS Fellows Collection, announce the start of the annual competition for the 2011 Brandon Fradd Fellowship in Music Composition administered by the Foundation and the CINTAS Fellowship Program at MDC.
There will be a variety of events at MDC National Historic Landmark Miami Freedom Tower in October highlighting the work of the CINTAS finalists in the three disciplines: music, visual art and creative writing. Hortensia E. Sampedro, president of the CINTAS Foundation, announced that the winner of this fellowship will be awarded $10,000 and the opportunity to pursue a music composition project outlined in their applications. Winners will be announced in October/November 2011.
The only one of its kind in the nation, the CINTAS Fellowship Program has honored more than 300 artists since it was established in 1963. Past music fellows include Sergio Barroso, Armando Bayolo, Mario Bauza (known as the father of Afro-Cuban jazz), José Bernardo, Aldo Rafael Forte, Julián Orbon, Tania León and Orlando Jacinto Garcia. Last year’s winner was Fabian Almazan, and Yalil Guerra was the runner up.
The CINTAS Foundation awards fellowships annually to creative artists of Cuban lineage who reside outside of Cuba. Competition details and all program requirements and application forms are posted on the CINTAS Foundation web site at www.cintasfoundation.org. Applicants for the music fellowship must submit original musical compositions and recordings of their work by August 29, 2011.
The CINTAS Fellowship Program encourages creative development in architecture, literature, music composition and the visual arts. The Foundation was established with funds from the estate of Oscar B. Cintas (1887-1957), former Cuban ambassador to the United States, a prominent industrialist and patron of the arts. The Brandon Fradd Fellowship in Music Composition, established in 2006, was endowed by Brandon Fradd of New York City for the benefit of the winner of the music composition award. Fradd, a managing director of Apollo Medical Partners, earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Princeton University, a graduate degree from New College of Oxford University and graduated from Harvard Medical School. He grew up in Miami among Cuban friends from whom he learned Spanish and developed an interest in Cuban music. www.cintasfoundation.Miami Book Fair - News

Miami Book Fair International – you design multimedia
, 2010; And it wasn’t any less attractive than the previous years. Colored tents, housing more than 175 different book exhibitors, filled six blocks.
As a member of this multimedia blog, I wondered: What would be the relationship between multimedia and an international book fair? The answer was immediate: I can find multimedia books and I may see multimedia presentations on TV screens. It didn’t take but a few minutes before I was at the entrance to the Wolfson Campus of the Miami Dade Community College in downtown Miami, where the event took place.
One of the things that caught my attention was the largest book spiral in the world, built with donations received during the days of the fair. When I arrived, there were more than six thousand books on the floor organized as a spiral. Mexico City holds the previous record with 10,090 books.
But, what happens to these books later? They are donated to community centers across the state of Florida.
The book variety at the fair is endless. One can find anything from audio books on Alzheimer’s written in Spanish and other languages; to the showcasing of the world’s smallest books; as well as magazines and newspapers.
But the hunt for multimedia books was difficult because somehow this time they were scarce. At the end, on a one-square foot shelf, I found some specimens that interested me.
Finally, the inevitable guests in any event of this category, the children, were given a great space for entertaining.
This year I will attend the Miami Book Fair in November. I hope to see you there!
Does anyone know whether Exhibiting at the Miami Int'l Book Fair is a worthwhile endeavor? Pls. DM. Thanks.
