This
summer at a 7:30 p.m. every other Thursday—June 11
through August 20—the Community Arts Program (CAP) Summer
Concert Series returns for a 41st, consecutive year.
In the historic, Spanish-revival style setting of Coral Gables
Congregational United Church of Christ (across from the iconic
Biltmore Hotel), concertgoers have the unique opportunity to hear not
only music by incredible 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 now continues to welcome
on-ground!
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 59
Miami-Dade County Schools, no matter what students’ circumstance or ability.
“We are very excited to again welcome concertgoers with the usual line-up
of incredible artists this summer,” says Mark Hart,
Executive and Artistic Director of the
Community Arts Program (CAP). “It’s an honor also to
welcome concertgoers locally, from across the States, and the globe; and a
great reward to see students flourish within the CAP after-school music
education program, designed to deeply serve all children and youth."
