Coral Gables, FL — September 22, 2026 — Les Ailes du Désir Foundation (LADD Miami) presented the 12th edition of Soirée des Arts: Mediterranean Edition at Sanctuary of the Arts. With the Support of the City of Coral Gables Cultural Arts Division, the evening sold out, with no tickets remaining in the 314-seat hall.

Under Creative Director Milena Straczynski and composer Alba Maria, the production blended aerial acrobatics, contemporary movement, and live original music inspired by Coral Gables’ Mediterranean Revival heritage. Alba Maria’s score moved between Mediterranean folk forms and contemporary composition, giving each act an emotional throughline of movement, sound, and place.

Professional artists Gio of Duo Fusion, Megan Stockman, and Ariel Valeiras shared the stage with local Coral Gables artists and LADD youth students Alessandro, Jiira, Nary, Sofia. Noah Grey, a former dance champion, LADD student, and now a LADD Miami teacher, also performed, tracing a path from student and champion to educator and circus artist.

The sold-out night advanced LADD’s mission to provide education and performance opportunities in circus and performing arts for youth, emerging artists, and circus professionals.
