Support the Future of Music on Give Miami Day
New World Symphony proudly joins Give Miami Day, a community-wide effort hosted by The Miami Foundation supporting more than 1,000 local nonprofits.
For nearly 40 years, New World Symphony (NWS) has enriched South Florida with iconic music, helping shape our community as a world-class arts destination. Give Miami Day offers an opportunity to strengthen the cultural institutions that inspire, connect and sustain us.
Established in 1987 by Michael Tilson Thomas and Lin and Ted Arison, NWS welcomes exceptional young musicians from all over the world who participate in fellowships lasting up to three years. Since its founding, NWS has helped launch the careers of more than 1,350 alumni.
More than an orchestral academy, NWS leads innovative programming that brings people together through extraordinary experiences. Last season’s American Dance Odyssey, conceived by NWS Artistic Director Stéphane Denève and created in collaboration with Miami City Ballet, exemplified the many ways NWS builds community.
Uniting two leading South Florida cultural institutions, the project hosted American composers and choreographers paired to create an original Choreographic Concerto, which was performed by NWS Fellows and Miami City Ballet dancers. The unforgettable weekend reached audiences inside the Michael Tilson Thomas Performance Hall, in SoundScape Park through NWS's groundbreaking WALLCAST® simulcast technology and continues to make waves through NWS Inside, our free digital streaming platform. Further expanding access, NWS produced a behind-the-scenes documentary series on YouTube offering an inside look at the creative process that brought this ambitious production to life.
Whether someone buys a ticket or finds us for the first time on YouTube, every performance begins with the generosity of supporters who believe that music can remove barriers and make a positive impact on the world.
Your support today helps shape the future of music. A gift to New World Symphony contributes directly to the development of the next generation of musical leaders while creating new ways for our community to experience music.
Early giving begins on Saturday, November 14 at 12:00 AM and continues through Thursday, November 19 at 11:59 PM.
