Shades of Bublé: A Three-Man Tribute to Michael Bublé The City of Aventura presents Shades of Bublé: A Three-Man Tribute to Michael Bublé at the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center on Saturday, February 20th, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.

Delivering the sophistication, retro style and high-energy fun that Bublé brings to his concerts, the stars perform thrilling new three-part vocal arrangements in a setlist of big-band standards from the jazz era along with classic pop hits and Billboard chart toppers from today.

The show combines all the many sides of Bublé that have made him a superstar: the modern Sinatra who sings and swings on all the standards; the chart-topping pop artist who wrote “Home,” “Haven’t Met You Yet” and the rock-and-roll bad boy who reinterprets classic Motown and R&B. With smooth choreography and charming good looks, the three voices and a hot backing band deliver the hits including “Feeling Good,” “Moondance,” “Come Fly With Me,” “Home,” “Everything,” “Fever” and “Save the Last Dance for Me.” Seating for all the newly announced performances allows for six feet of physical distance and tickets are available only in pods of 2 or 4 seats together. Face coverings are required at all times, unless actively consuming food and beverages in designated areas. Health and safety

guidelines will be followed and are available at: www.AventuraCenter.org under the visit tab. Aventura Arts &

Cultural Center’s plans for limited capacity reopenings have been reviewed and approved by local government officials and will be updated as needed.

Tickets are $45-$49. Ticketmaster is the only official ticketing service of the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center. Buy tickets online at: www.aventuracenter.org.

Insuring Valued Clients for the Next Generation

FEBRUARY 2021 • AVENTURA DIGEST • PG 8

The stories of Riemer Insurance Group and South Florida are inextricably linked.

From the events that defined the region, to the companies that drive its business and enterprise, to the towers making Miami’s mark on a global skyline, the insurance agency has been the trusted partner at their sides.

Founded by Stephen Riemer in 1978, the Hallandale-based agency grew along with the region’s insurance needs. From 1993 to 2000 Riemer purchased 12 insurance agencies, gaining strength by scaling the business.

The company then switched gears and added to its growth strategy by hiring a different kind of salesman for a different kind of customer. Stephen Riemer brought on savvy sales professionals whose clients would follow them for their commercial insurance. In the early days, those were restaurants, hotels, country clubs, even a business that sold smoked fish to delicatessens. One by one, they became Riemer’s clients. Soon shopping center developers, office building owners, auto dealerships, retailers, and professional practices became the core group of Riemer’s client base. Today, the client base has expanded nationwide and, now Riemer Insurance Group is even the insurance agency for national insurance companies, hedge funds, banks, and other financial institutions.

Then as now, clients were not joining a firm for commercial lines, personal lines, and employee benefits. They were getting a partner. “My father always said to serve your clients by delivering the most comprehensive coverage possible, so when it comes claim time, there are no issues,” said Brian Riemer, Stephen’s son who joined the business in 2019 and was named CEO in January 2020 upon his

father’s retirement. When Brian returned to South Florida, he left behind a wholly different career.

With his economics degree from Harvard University, and his MBA from Wharton, Brian had pur-

the region and nation. Commercial clients range from momand-pop shops to the biggest names in the marketplace.

Harnessing innate knowledge amassed over its 42-year life, its

in-house expertise is unparalleled. Riemer knows every client faces complicated insurance requirements and has unique financial needs, especially as premiums continue to rise. He’s partnered with “captive insurance companies,” where for financial, tax, and legal purposes, policies are held by the insured members, who serve as both policyholder and the insurance company. This can lower costs and broaden coverage, while driving profits through additional dividends.

The firm’s commitment to continuous improvement requires that its people pursue individually unique industry education, with little overlap so it builds its bench of highly skilled, multi-disciplinary experts. “A rising tide lifts all boats, so as our employees commit to attaining higher education, the Riemer Insurance Group grows its level of expertise each year” said Brian Riemer. Some things cannot be taught, however. It’s called loyalty - to its clients and coworkers his team calls family.

It’s never lost that Riemer Insurance Group remains a family - owned & operated business that suffered no layoffs or payroll cuts during the pandemic.

Riemer Insurance Group is known for bringing value added to the table by integrating its client relationships with each other to solve problems and overcome obstacles. “We bring our client base of professionals including accountants and attorneys to assist those who need help getting over the fence. Then and now, we see the important role an insurance partner plays in helping people and companies get through the roughest times of their lives,” Brian said. “It’s about relationships. My dad coined a phrase years ago that remains true today. ‘Our business is protecting yours.’”

Since we re-opened for limited events in November 2020, the Arsht Center has tested

and implemented new measures for the safety and peace of mind of our guests, staff and artists. We will continue to work with medical advisors and officials as conditions evolve, develop and share new recommendations prior to Broadway’s return. We can’t wait to celebrate the magic of Broadway with our Miami audiences starting this fall.”

and that of King Hades and his wife, Persephone — as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back.

Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers and singers, Hadestown is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.

Dear Evan Hansen Miami Premiere: Feb. 15th – Feb. 20th, 2022 Winner of six 2017 Tony® Awards including best musical and the 2018 Grammy® award for best musical theater album.

A letter that was never meant to be seen, a lie that was never meant to be told, a life he never dreamed he could have. Evan Hansen is about to get the one thing he’s always wanted: A chance to finally fit in. Dear Evan Hansen is the deeply personal and profoundly, contemporary musical about life and the way we live it.

Declared “one of the most remarkable shows in musical theater history” by the Washington Post and “an anthem resonating on Broadway and beyond” by NBC Nightly News, Dear Evan Hansen has struck a remarkable chord with audiences and critics alike. The New York Times calls the show “a gorgeous musical

for anyone with a beating heart.”

Dear Evan Hansen features a book by Tony Award winner Steven Levenson, a score by Grammy®, Tony® and Academy Award® winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (La La Land, The Greatest Showman) and direction by four-time Tony Award nominee Michael Greif (Rent, Next to Normal).
