In a first of its kind FREE event, an all-star line up of musical performers are scheduled to participate in the Kids Day Matinee at the Mizner Park Amphitheatre in Boca Raton on Saturday, February 16 at 2 pm. The afternoon will feature a diverse array of musical genres from Hip Hop to Dixie Land, Broadway to Americana. And in addition to the live performances, free ice cream will be available for all the children.

This exciting extravaganza is the creation of Marshall Turkin and Martin Stein, who wanted the opportunity to introduce the young people of our community to a variety of musical styles. We wanted to provide a fun-filled day and a free venue, so hundreds of children and their parents can experience the wonders of music, said Turkin. The show will be both entertaining and educational, as we have developed a program that will take the children on a musical journey, from their current favorites to songs they may have never heard before.

Mr. Turkin is bringing his artistic expertise to the afternoon with the Marshall Turkin Classic Jazz Dixieland Ensemble. As the former Director of both the Pittsburgh and Detroit Symphony Orchestras and the founder of the Boca Raton Philharmonic Symphonia, Turkin is orchestrating the diverse array of young talent who will be performing, in addition to performing himself with his renowned Jazz Ensemble. Also performing with the Jazz Dixieland Ensemble is bassist, John Lamb, who was a member of the Duke Ellington Orchestra during the 60's & 70's.

The program will include performances by the Hip Hop Kidz, the New Young Patriots, Showtime Boca, Ariana Grande, and will conclude with a concert by Marshall Turkin's Classic Dixieland Jazz Ensemble.

Edith and Martin Stein, two of the area's best known philanthropists, are generously underwriting the free concert and the ice cream!
