Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens has been a center for Japanese art and culture in South Florida since opening in 1977. Morikami invites guests to discover its South Florida history, connection with Japan, and explore a series of six diverse gardens, each inspired by a different historical period and style of Japanese gardening. Visitors experience traditional and contemporary Japanese culture through engaging exhibits, varied educational programs and seasonal events, a world-class bonsai display, Pan-Asian cuisine, and a distinctive museum store.
The evening’s events will feature a spectacular program of dining, dancing, and music, highlighted by guest artist, Charles Calello and a 17-person orchestra will be performing. He is a celebrated Grammy nominee, and renowned music arranger. Calello is also one of the original members of The 4 Seasons. The orchestra guarantees a wonderful evening of live music!
Upon arrival, guests will be served signature cocktails, enjoy Japanese Taiko drumming, and participate in a tasting of Japan’s most premium brands of sake and whisky as they view the must-have items being offered in the silent auction.
A spectacular display of fireworks will herald the commencement of the evening’s program, with a solo music performance by Mr. Calello as a lavish dinner is served. The Museum is pleased to announce that Kathleen Guzman, a contributor to PBS’s Antiques Roadshow and a world-renowned appraiser and auctioneer will conduct the evening’s live auction.
