New World Symphony

The New World Symphony is located in Miami Beach, Florida and in less than twenty years, it has managed to become one of the leading cultural institutions in Southern Florida. There are more than 60 annual performances and 15 percent of these are free of charge for the public. The symphony has drawn acclaim around the world and musical lovers have traveled from far and wide to enjoy what the symphony has to offer. Following drastic cuts to arts education in Miami-Dade schools, the New World Symphony stepped up and invited children to attend rehearsals of the symphony. This exposes them to classical music and allows them to see how the performances grows and comes to life. More than 200 classes from 40 area schools attend the program annually, offered for free to aspiring young musicians. The symphony performs on a campus located at the City Center Redevelopment Project in downtown Miami Beach. It is just two blocks from Miami's famous Lincoln Road, behind the Lincoln Road Mall. A parking garage is in the process of being built on the two acre lot next to the campus. The symphony is part of the Museum Park area that also includes Art Basel Miami Beach and the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts.
