Free New Music Miami Concert

The New Music Miami Festival (NMMF) is back with festival discussions and concerts that are free to the public, no ticket required thanks to the generosity of the Festival's sponsors. The concerts take place at 7 p.m. at The Wolfsonian-FIU, 1001 Washington Ave., Miami Beach.

The FIU School of Music celebrates its 26th year of the New Music Miami ISCM Festival, directed by FIU composer-in-residence Orlando Jacinto Garcia. The festival runs through April 19 and includes the presentation of music by composers from around the world, many of whom are present to discuss their music for FIU students and audiences. The festival has continued to expand, featuring new music concerts for acoustic and electro-acoustic instrumentations.
