CAP Summer Concert Series
at
The Historic
Coral Gables Congregational United Church of Christ
3010 De Soto Boulevard, Coral Gables, FL 33134
This summer at 7:30 p.m. every
other Thursday—June 13
through August 22—the Community
Arts Program (CAP)
Summer Concert Series returns for its 39th year. In
the historic, Spanish-revival style setting of Coral Gables Congregational United Church of Christ
(directly across from the Biltmore Hotel), concertgoers have the unique opportunity
to not only hear music
by incredible classical and jazz musicians. Attendees also learn more about the music and each
artist’s journey with music.
Since 1985, the Community Arts Program (CAP) Summer
Concert Series has been attended by more than 70,000 concertgoers.
It is a time-honored tradition that continued with virtual broadcasts to the
world throughout the pandemic summers of 2020 and 2021, and gathered an average
of 7,500 views each summer. This developed an extended audience that CAP is
excited to welcome on-ground again in the summer of 2024!
Throughout the school year, the Community Arts Program (CAP) also provides
after-school music education with the CAP Conservatory
for the Arts and its Miami
Jazz Institute. These reach children and youth from over 53
Miami-Dade County Schools, no matter what students’ circumstance or ability.
“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 Shelly Berg, Dean of the Phillip and Patricia Frost School
of Music at the University of Miami. “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
welcome concertgoers on-ground again, and with the usual line-up of incredible
artists this summer,” says Mark
Hart,
Executive and Artistic Director of the Community Arts Program.
“It’s an honor also to welcome concertgoers locally, from
across the States, and the globe; and a reward as well to see the growth of our
after-school music education program for all children and youth.
