The Candlelight series brings its tribute to Juan Luis Guerra to Pinecrest Gardens on Friday, October 16, at 6:15 in the evening. The Listeso String Quartet recasts Guerra's merengue, bachata and tropical pop for four instruments, and the gardens' pavilion is lit with candles for the hour. Tickets start around 39 dollars and sell through the Fever page for the event, which also lists a follow-up date in November for anyone who misses this one.

Music for the whole family, reimagined

Juan Luis Guerra's songs cross generations in South Florida, and a string quartet version takes the familiar melodies somewhere new. The candlelit format is quiet enough for children who can sit through a concert and intimate enough for a date night, which makes the evening work for more than one kind of plan. Between pieces, the gardens themselves are the intermission, with tropical paths and mature trees worth a slow walk.

A Friday night that starts the weekend

The 6:15 start leaves the evening open after the concert, and the venue sits minutes from the shops and restaurants along Red Road in Pinecrest and South Miami. For families deciding where to settle in South Dade, the concert is a small example of the area's calendar: music, gardens and community close to home. October is full of such moments in Pinecrest, and this one sets the tone.
