Its vision is to do so by providing enriching, quality experiences and entertainment, as well as educational events & materials in the form of Music, Drama, & Literature.

 

In 2011 & 2012, NTF will present ‘9/11: Ten Years After – A Music & Dialogue Series’, a multidisciplinary series of events throughout South Florida, Southern California, New York and Puerto Rico. The official launching event of the series – and the Foundation – will be the ‘Concert For A New Renaissance: Symphonic Dances, Prayers & Meditations For Peace’, to take place on November 11 (11/11/11) at the new South Miami Dade Cultural Arts Center. It will feature music composed by Nestor Torres in NYC right after 9/11/01, as well as the piece ‘The Lotus Sutra Of  The Wonderful Law’, which was written for and presented on the occasion of a lecture by the Dalai Lama at FIU in 2004.

   

The performances will be directed by Daniel Lewis (Former Dance Department Dean at the New World School Of The Arts) and feature the Greater Miami Youth Symphony, the Thomas Armour Dance Conservatory, the Miami Children’s Chorus, and students from the New World School Of The Arts. A total of 200 young people from ages 8-22 will be participating that evening, sharing the stage with Mr. Torres and a select group of master musicians, singers and dancers. The event will be live streamed and filmed to be broadcast worldwide at a later time.
