Groundbreaking Miami-based hybrid orchestra Nu Deco Ensemble<\/a> will add yet another marquee name to its already impressive list of collaborators when the Grammy, Emmy, and Academy Award-winning socially conscious hip-hop icon Common<\/a> joins the group for two Florida performances, including a Nov. 12 stop at the Adrienne Arsht Center<\/a>\u2019s Knight Concert Hall<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honored and excited to welcome Common, a true hip-hop legend and one of the most important artists of his generation, to the Nu Deco stage,\u201d Nu Deco CEO and Co-Artistic Director Sam Hyken tells New Times. \u201cLike Water for Chocolate,\u00a0Be, and\u00a0Electric Circus\u00a0are three of my all-time favorite hip-hop albums and his music has been part of my life for years. This is a collaboration Nu Deco has dreamed about for a long time, and our audience is already thrilled to experience his artistry through the sound and energy of the orchestra.\u201d<\/p>\n

Founded in 2015 to \u201ccreate transformative musical experiences which inspire and connect by building a collaborative, inclusive and sustainable community of artists, students, and audiences,\u201d past collaborators with Nu Deco Ensemble have included Wyclef Jean<\/a>, Macy Gray, Ben Folds<\/a>, Kimbra, Stephen Marley, Kishi Bashi<\/a>, and many others.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition to its unique sonic reinterpretations, the organization also runs Nu Deco Imagination<\/a>, a series of no-cost concerts, workshops, and masterclasses for K-12 students throughout Miami-Dade; the Nu Deco NXT<\/a> youth ensemble for 7th-12th graders; and Nu Deco Access, which has donated more than five thousand free tickets to \u201censure that underserved communities in Miami-Dade county can experience live music.\u201d<\/p>\n

Does the Nu Deco Ensemble approach resonate? The more than 15 million global streams of their originals and collaborations would seem to suggest yes.<\/p>\n

As an artist who has been able to blur and transcend the boundaries between music, poetry, acting, film, television, modeling, production, and activism throughout the last thirty-five years, Chicago-born Common would seem a prime candidate to paint across Nu Deco Ensemble\u2019s self-described \u201cultimate canvas for elevation, transformation, and connection through music.\u201d We won\u2019t have long to wait to find out for certain.<\/p>\n

Common with Nu Deco Ensemble. 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, at the Knight Concert Hall at Adrienne Arsht Center, 1300 Biscayne Blvd, Miami; arshtcenter.org; 305-949-6722.
