'Ocean of Notes' concert in Riviera Beach

No matter what type of music you listen to daily — rock, hip-hop, electronic, polka — there’s something magical about the simple, sophisticated combination of guitars and violins. This Friday night, the Taras Oceanographic Foundation will present an “Ocean of Notes” concert featuring violinist Mark Russell and guitarists Tony McManus and Slava Tolstoy. The show seeks to bring music lovers together with those who support ocean conservation for an entertaining and educational experience on World Oceans Day (which is today!).

“Ocean of Notes” Concert: 7 to 10 p.m. Saturday. Riviera Beach Marina Event Center, 190 E. 13th St., Riviera Beach. Info: 561-881-7438 or taras.org.

Photographic exhibition at the Boca Raton Museum of Art

In 1942, at just 16 years old, New York City-based photographer Benn Mitchell sold his first photo to Life magazine. One year later, he received permission from Warner Brothers in Hollywood to roam around the soundstages and studio lots to take photos of stars. After serving in World War II, Mitchell spent the rest of his days as a commercial studio photographer in Manhattan. His work will be showcased in a new exhibition titled “Benn Mitchell Photographs: Hollywood to NYC” starting June 14 at the Boca Raton Museum of Art. Don’t miss it!
