Join the FIU NODUS Ensemble for a vibrant North–South Concert at The Betsy South Beach Hotel, featuring the adventurous music of guest composer Alex Burtzos and an international lineup of voices shaping today’s musical landscape.

Alex Burtzos is an American composer, conductor, and educator whose music—performed across four continents—blends bold contemporary ideas with influences from jazz, rock, and the avant-garde. His work defies easy categorization and reflects a wide range of inspiration and expression.

The program also showcases compelling works by composers from the Americas: Marvin Camacho (Costa Rica), Andy Akiho (USA), Eddie Mora (Costa Rica), and Diana Arismendi (Venezuela). Together, these pieces explore diverse perspectives and sound worlds, bringing fresh energy and cross-cultural resonance to new music in Miami.
