This summer, June 4 through August 13, in a quiet
Miami neighborhood and within the Coral Gables Congregational United Church of
Christ’s intimate, historic Spanish-revival style setting, concertgoers 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) 2015 Summer Concert Series!
The Community Arts Program Summer Concert Series has entertained more than 64,000 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 concertgoers locally, 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!”

pioneered by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. Joining Irby will be
trombonist and fellow JLCO member Vincent Gardner, and Jazz at Lincoln Center
favorite, drummer Willie Jones III, whose resume includes renowned leadership
and supporting roles with icons like Freddie Hubbard, Sonny Rollins, Christian
McBride, and Arturo Sandoval. Rounding out a sensational gathering is pianist
Charles Craig and bassist Dezron Douglass. Opening the concert will be the CAP
Miami Jazz Institute ALL-STAR Jazz Ensemble, fresh from its performance on Jazz
at Lincoln Center’s stage in the 2015 Essentially Ellington High School Jazz
Band Festival and Competition. 
JUNE 18 -
AMIT PELED, classical cellist
Israeli cellist Amit Peled is acclaimed as one of the most
exciting instrumentalists on the concert stage today. In an historic “Homage to
Pablo Casals,” he’ll recreate Pablo Casals 1915 Peabody Institute Conservatory
of Music recital, performed on Pablo Casals very own cello, a Goffriler ca.
1733, personally handed to Amit Peled by the Maestro’s widow, Mrs. Marta Casals
Istomin. Experience an enthralling evening with Mr. Peled, pianist Noreen
Polera, and the music of Handel, Bach, Beethoven, Fauré, and Saint-Saëns.
JULY 2 -
JAMES TORMÉ
Multi-award winning artist James Tormé is a uniquely gifted
singer whose music infuses older jazz classics with soul and R&B, and the
showmanship of his three-time Grammy-awarded father, Mel Tormé. Begin your
star-spangled holiday with James Tormé and his band as they pay tribute to all
corners of American music history…with a distinctly-inherited flare! 
JULY 16 -
AWADAGIN PRATT, classical pianist
wadagin Pratt became the first African-American classical
instrumentalist to win first prize in the 1992 Naumburg International Piano
Competition. This Angel/EMI recording artist last appeared on the Community
Arts Program (CAP) 2010 Summer Concert Series, where the press hailed his
“larger-than-life keyboard virtuosity and showmanship…capable of the most
fiendish pyrotechnics and subtle colors and shadings.” For his 2015 Summer
Concert Series recital, Awadagin brings works of Brahms, Bach, and Liszt. Listeners
will be dazzled by Awadagin…for the first time, or all over again! 
JULY 30 -
JASON MARSALIS VIBES QUARTET
Jason Marsalis is the youngest sibling of Wynton, Branford
and Delfeayo, and son of jazz pianist Ellis, all of whom comprise New Orleans’s
venerable first family of jazz. Jason is well-known for his prodigious
drumming. However, with the release of 2013’s In a World of Mallets,
listeners now recognize Jason for his unique sound on the vibraphones. Here’s
to an absolutely mesmerizing evening with Jason Marsalis (vibes), Will Goble
(bass), David Potter (drums), and Austin Johnson (piano).
AUGUST 13
- ARTURO O’FARRILL AND THE AFRO LATIN OCTET
Arturo O’Farrill, pianist, composer, and educator, is the
2015 GRAMMY winner for Best Latin Jazz Album. This comes as no surprise. Arturo
is hailed by The New York Times as the leader of the “first family of
Afro-Cuban Jazz,” and he’s the son of late, great composer Chico O’Farrill. Be
prepared for a combination of piano, trumpet, sax, bass, drums and percussion
that will move you, literally, into an exhilarating and unforgettable evening!
