Start your literary engines: NEA Big Read Miami
Through April 30
The National Endowment for the Arts’ Big Read broadens our understanding of our world, our communities, and ourselves through the joy of sharing a great book – and Miami Book Fair is again marking this unique literary happening with two months of events for readers young and old, centered around our title pick for 2024, MADELINE MILLER’s bestselling and critically acclaimed novel CIRCE.
In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child – not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power – the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves.
With vivid characters, mesmerizing language, and page-turning suspense, Circe is a triumph of storytelling. It’s an intoxicating tale of family rivalry, palace intrigue, and love and loss – and an empowering celebration of female strength in a man’s world.

Our 20thanniversary season promises to be our best ever, and we can’t wait to share the news with our patrons and guests at the event.”
Guests will enjoy gourmet bites, zesty spirits, a live musical performance by Symphonia musicians, as well as a “special” surprise. Attendees will also have a chance to mingle with the organization’s leadership to learn more about its impact in the community, fundraising opportunities, and exclusive patron perks.
The chairperson of Cocktails & Classics is board member and longtime Symphonia supporter, Sung Knowles.
Tickets are $100 for individuals, $175 for pairs, and can be purchased at
