Coral Gables Congregational
United Church of Christ
28th Season!
A Spectacular Line-up!
This summer, June 13 through August 22, in a quiet Miami
neighborhood and within the Coral Gables Congregational United Church of
Christ's intimate, historic Spanish-revival style setting, concert goers will
have the unique opportunity to be awed and entertained by the music industry's
most-talented and revered classical and jazz figures. These artists will
perform and delight audiences on the Community Arts Program (CAP) 2013
Summer Concert Series titled Then Swings My
Soul!
The Community Arts Program (CAP) Summer Concert Series has
entertained more than 62,000 people since it began in 1985. The Series
has grown into a valued tradition and, more recently, part of a Community Arts
Program that also provides music education to children within its Conservatory
for the Arts. "The Community Arts Program (CAP) Summer Concert Series is a rare
opportunity to hear world-renowned artists in the intimate and beautiful Coral
Gables Congregational United Church of Christ," says Shelton G. Berg,
University of Miami Dean of the Phillip and Patricia Frost School of
Music. "The CAP Conservatory for the Arts provides high-quality music
education to children, many of whom would otherwise be denied access to the
wonder of music and the beauty of the artistic spirit."
"We are very excited to again present a diverse and world-class
line up of artists," says Mark Hart, Executive & Artistic Director
of the Community Arts Program. "It's an honor to welcome concert goers
from across the state and as far away as Europe, and rewarding to see the growth
of our music education program for kids! In all, we've come to provide
exceptional cultural and educationally-enriching experiences for more than 3,000
children and adults each year!"

the stylistically innovative 1960's, and you have an exciting combination of
musical elements to draw upon! With Dan at the drums and Chris on electric bass
