WHAT’S IN A NAME? Says Shakespeare’s Romeo: ‘What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet’. Good idea for Romeo, but not for a website. So, I am changing the name of my website on Word Press, while retaining the same address (www.rafaelmusicnotes.com) From now on, I will post my on-line reviews and commentary as ALL ABOUT THE ARTS. The new name will let readers new and long term know that I will start covering news and offering reviews and commentary about theatre, dance and the arts in general. Thanks for your support!

Rafael de Acha has enjoyed a distinguished career in the arts as a performer, stage director, producer, and educator. He was born and grew up in Cuba. At the age of 17 he moved to the United States to study Drama at the University of Minnesota, and later Languages at L.A. City College, Music at the Juilliard School of Music, at the University of Cincinnati’s College Conservatory of Music, and at the New England Conservatory of Music, from which he received the Master's degree. He has taught courses on the History of Music at the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music and at Florida International University, and contributed writings and reviews to Seen and Heard International (www.seenandheard-international.com ) and to this blog. He co-founded the award-winning New Theatre in Coral Gables, Florida, where he produced and staged twenty seasons of classical and contemporary theater, including fifty world premieres of plays that went on to have international and national productions on and off Broadway, including Ana in the Tropics by Nilo Cruz (Pulitzer Prize for Drama 2002 and Tony Nomination 2003.) In 2006 he was presented with a citation from The Dade County Cultural Affairs Council for “trailblazing contributions to the arts in South Florida.”
