Frost Studio Jazz Band & Peter London Global Dance Company

Etienne Charles, Studio Jazz Band director

Peter London, Peter London Global Dance Company artistic director and choreographer 

Composer‑trumpeter Etienne Charles has always told stories in sound—of Carnival streets, ancestral rites, and the living pulse of Caribbean life. In this newly forged partnership he expands that canvas, joining forces with the Frost Studio Jazz Band and the Peter London Global Dance Company, South Florida’s pre‑eminent multicultural contemporary troupe.

The program pairs Charles’s acclaimed suites—Bacchanal Tuesday, As an Offering, and Green Thumb—with world‑premiere choreography crafted by Peter London and his dancers. 

Framed by a vibrant Creole prelude and narrative introductions from Charles himself, the evening unfolds as an immersive journey through rhythm, movement, and cultural memory.

Come witness music and dance speak the shared language in a multisensory experience that honors Caribbean heritage while pushing it boldly forward.
