As a student musician, practicing your craft in front of a live audience is key and that's what the University of Miami Frost School of Music is providing for their students through the Music at McBride Plaza Concert Series.
The free outdoor concerts happen every other Thursday of the month from January through March 2025, at McBride Plaza, 150 Miracle Mile in Downtown Coral Gables from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Every concert will feature a different and talented ensemble from UM’s Frost School of Music.
