How to Enjoy a Night at the Symphony for $10 or Less

Looking for an unforgettable night out that won’t break the bank? This September, the New World Symphony invites you to experience world-class music in Miami Beach for $10 or less.

To kick off the season, NWS is offering a series of pay-what-you-wish concerts at the Frank Gehry-designed New World Center. Whether you’re a classical music fan or just curious to try something new, these performances make it easy to enjoy a night at the symphony on your own terms.

Strings: Clyne, Mozart & Beethoven
Saturday, September 13, at 7:30 p.m.

New World Center | 500 17th St, Miami Beach
Hear Anna Clyne’s Stride, inspired by jazz piano and Beethoven’s Pathétique Sonata. Lively and experimental, Mozart’s Sinfonia concertante pairs violin and viola as dual soloists. Beethoven’s brief but mighty quartet carries a serious title but ends with a playful flourish. Tickets are pay-what-you-wish. Spend $5 or pay what you can to support the future of music.

Woodwinds + Brass: Dvorák, Shostakovich & Holst
Sunday, September 14, at 2 p.m.

New World Center | 500 17th St, Miami Beach
This lively matinee brings wind and brass instruments to center stage. Dvorák's Serenade evokes old-word charm. Shostakovich's Jazz Suite No. 2 brings Soviet-era swing to the concert hall. In the tradition of Ravel, Valerie Coleman’s Tzigane for Woodwind Quartet demands virtuosity.  Once again, pay-what-you-wish tickets start at $5.

Tianyi Lu Conducts Bartók & Brahms
Saturday, September 20, at 7:30 p.m.

New World Center | 500 17th St, Miami Beach
Celebrate the full orchestra—and the next generation of musical talent—with this grand introduction to the newest NWS Fellows. Tickets for this performance are also pay-what-you-wish, starting at just $10.

Every ticket you buy supports the future of music. Come as you are and pay what feels right. Learn more at nws.edu.
