Emily Estefan to headline Valentine’s Day concert

The Coconut Grove Arts Festival will be holding a live concert in Peacock Park, the night before the Arts Festival this February. On Friday, February 14, headlining this first-ever “Evening under the Stars” concert is Miami’s own Emily Estefan, a talented singer, songwriter and producer who has already earned international acclaim as a gifted musician.  

“I can’t think of a better performer to kick-off this year’s Festival and capture the magic of Coconut Grove,” said Monty Trainer, president of the Arts Festival. “Emily has quickly made a name for herself in the music industry and we are thrilled to have her grace our stage on Valentine’s Day.  This concert will set the tone for what we feel will be our finest festival ever.” 

Soon after graduating from the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, Emily was selected as Elvis Duran's Artist of the Month and performed her single "Reigns (Every Night)" on NBC's Today Show.  

Emily has continued writing and producing original music and performing at events and music festivals such as SXSW, Essence and GroundUp Music Fest. She has been lauded for her performances on nationally televised specials like “Q 85: A Musical Celebration for Quincy Jones” on BET and “Hocus Pocus 25th Anniversary Halloween Bash” on Freeform and the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize on PBS. 

The “Evening under the Stars” concert will feature an opening act expected to take the stage at 7 pm with Emily Estefan scheduled to perform at 8 pm.
