Coral Gables Congregational United Church of Christ

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.
