For such a small city, Sarasota has a wealth of culture that never ceases to amaze me. The latest intriguing event celebrates the 50th anniversary of the birth of Bossa Nova music 
with a concert by Brazilian band O Som Do Jazz. The performance will feature selections from the group’s new CD release “Infinita Bossa,†which features classic Bossa Nova and Samba-jazz.
The concert is part of the EMIT series, which, over the past 12 years has hosted over 130 events involving new music, free jazz, world, interactive electronics, improvisation and interdisciplinary art forms that incorporate sound. For those who may be unfamiliar with the suave melodies and irresistible yet subtle rhythms of Bossa Nova, you can listen to two-minute excerpts from the group’s new album at the CD baby site.
The performance will be held at 3 PM on Sunday, June 8 at the Sainer Pavilion at New College. Admission is $10. The Sainer Pavilion is located at 5313 Bay Shore Road in Sarasota, FL 34243. The telephone number there is (941) 487-4665.
