ICA Season Ready to Begin
The 2017-2018 Ignatian Center of the Arts (ICA) season is shaping up after a brief delay because of Hurricane Irma.
The season will kick-off on October 9 with our first gallery show of the year. Showcasing three talented photographers, the Saladrigas Art Gallery will be home to an exhibit called “3 Photographers”. Photographs from alumni Roberto Catasus '72 and Sebastian Trujillo '53 will be on display as well as pictures from critically acclaimed photographer Victoria Montoro. Last year’s success of Victor Arrieta’s photo exhibit paved the way to make this show possible. The Belen Community is invited to join us for the Artist Reception on October 24 at 7 p.m. in the gallery. The exhibit will end on December 15.
Our Concert Series begins on October 27 with a performance by our Belen Jesuit Band in the Amphitheater at 7:30 p.m. Our Musical Director Marlene Urbay has selected to highlight the music of one of the most talented rock bands in pop culture history – the Beatles. Tickets are on-sale for "BEATLEMANIA: A Tribute to an Era". The cost is $12.00 for pre-sales and $15.00 at the door. Tickets can be purchased at www.belenjesuit.org/rocatheater.
In December we will be producing the hilarious play, "Moon over Buffalo" directed by Mr. Leo J. Williams. The comedic talents of our students will be highlighted in this production. The cast is already busy at work preparing for the show which will be featured on the Roca stage December 1st and 2nd at 7:30 p.m.
Our fall season closes with the Belen Jesuit Christmas Concert Series on December 11 and 12. Over 250 students will showcase all that they have learned in our amazing Band classes and bring some Christmas cheer as we close out the season. We hope that you are able to make it to one or all of our different events at the ICA.

Belen Jesuit Preparatory School was founded in 1854 in Havana, Cuba by Queen Isabel II of Spain. The task of educating students was assigned to the priests and brothers of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), whose teaching tradition is synonymous with academic excellence and spiritual discipline. In 1961, the new political regime of Cuba confiscated the School property and expelled the Jesuit faculty. The School was re-established in Miami the same year, and over the next decade, continued to grow. Today, Belen Jesuit sits on a 30-acre site in western Dade County, only minutes away from downtown Miami.
