“It was a pleasure and a wonderful experience for us, full of very special moments, lots of joy, new friendships, and so much music, but above all, this week was full of learning to grow as musicians and as people. Thank you to the entire team for taking such good care of us during our time here in Miami, and also many thanks to the entire New World Symphony for being there for us at all times. I hope we can meet again to share many more moments together.”
Community & Education
Community Programs
This is the place where we need to describe the Community Programs, what they are, and who they apply to.
Concerts for Tots at YWCA South Florida
In collaboration with the YWCA of South Florida's early childhood programs, NWS Fellows present music-play sessions for children ages four and under. This engaging concert format is designed for young children based on the Suzuki Early Childhood Education (SECE) program.
Palliative Care at Miami Cancer Institute (The Dr. Zinner Concert Series)
NWS brings the power of music to the Miami Cancer Institute (MCI), performing for patients, families and healthcare staff. The project introduces curated digital concerts designed to create a calming experience in public spaces and patient rooms, paired with live onsite chamber performances by Fellows.
Miami Children’s Museum SMART After-School Program
NWS Fellows join the Miami Children's Museum's S.M.A.R.T. afterschool program, visiting schools and providing music education and a variety of activities.
Teen Art Force at MoCA North Miami
Each April, NWS partners with the Museum of Contemporary Art's (MoCA) Teen Art Force to present a Mobile WALLCAST® concert under the stars. The concert combines jazz-influenced music performed by NWS Fellows with student art displayed on the mobile wall. This event is part of the museum's free Jazz at MOCA series.
Epstein Family Foundation Medellin Exchange Program
New World Symphony (NWS) Fellows have trained at top conservatories and schools of music around the world. Through the Medellin Exchange Program, they visit countries where there is less access to classical music training, sharing their knowledge and experience with aspiring young musicians, who may not have access to the same resources in their early careers. These cross-cultural exchanges have proven equally beneficial for Fellows in their role as 21st-century musical ambassadors, advocates and engaged teachers.
Pre-Concert Chats
Pre-Concert chats take place in the Truist Pavilion one hour before select performances. Fellows will speak briefly about themselves, the concert program and answer questions. These 30-minute interactions are the perfect way to meet the musicians and learn more about the concert you are about to experience. Seating is first-come, first-served.
