On Sundays, New World Symphony offers something increasingly rare: permission to slow down.
For $25 (or less), wipe the slate clean and enjoy a few blissful, phoneless hours of beautiful music and architecture in the Frank Gehry-designed New World Center.
First time going to the symphony? You’re in good hands. Just like going to a museum or dropping into a yoga class, you don’t need to be an expert to enjoy New World Symphony concerts. From star-studded guest artists to introspective afternoons of string quartets led by the world’s brightest up-and-coming musicians, these Sunday matinees are the perfect respite after a busy week.
Come as you are, or wear that outfit you’ve been saving, and head to Miami Beach for a live music experience that’s a breath of fresh air.
