In celebration of America’s 250^th anniversary this year, Miami International Airport continued its MIA LIVE ARTS performance series – which honors the rich tapestry of American music and culture – by entertaining passengers with two performances by a quartet from Jazz Music in Action (JAZZMIA).

 JAZZMIA is dedicated to presenting world-class jazz – “America’s original art form” – throughout Miami-Dade County. JAZZMIA’s weekly series and other events are places for Miami’s jazz community, fans, and musicians to come together and enjoy live jazz in exceptional settings, with a strong sense of camaraderie and fun.

For America 250, the MIA LIVE ARTS series hosts performances at MIA in a variety of musical styles, including country, jazz, disco, and rock.  Each performance will showcase the unique rhythms and traditions that define America. From the infectious beats of line dancing to the soulful improvisations of jazz ensembles, every performance aims to spark celebration and pride. The first MIA LIVE ARTS performance was a high-energy line dance performance by Southside Stampede on March 12.

Miami International Airport, America’s busiest airport for international freight and the second busiest for international passengers, is receiving an unprecedented investment of $12 billion in capital improvements and maintenance upgrades. MIA offers more flights to Latin America and the Caribbean than any other U.S. airport and is also the leading economic engine for Miami-Dade County and the state of Florida, generating business revenue of $181 billion and approximately 60 percent of all international visitors to Florida annually.
