This summer at a 7:30 p.m. every other Thursday — June 13 through Aug. 22 — the Community Arts Program (CAP) Summer Concert Series returns for its 39th year.
In the historic, Spanish-revival style setting of Coral Gables Congregational United Church of Christ, concertgoers have the unique opportunity to not only hear music by incredible classical and jazz musicians, but also learn more about the music and each artist’s journey.
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 is excited to welcome again in the summer of 2024.
Throughout the school year, the Community Arts Program (CAP) provides afterschool music education with the CAP Conservatory for the Arts and its Miami Jazz Institute. These reach children and youth from over 53 Miami-Dade County schools, no matter what students’ circumstance or ability.
“The Community Arts Program (CAP) Summer Concert Series is a rare opportunity to hear world-renowned artists in the intimate and beautiful Coral Gables Congregational United Church of Christ,” said Shelly Berg, dean of the Phillip and Patricia Frost School of Music at the University of Miami.
“The CAP Conservatory for the Arts provides high-quality music education to children, many of whom would otherwise be denied access to the wonder of music and the beauty of the artistic spirit,” Dean Berg added.
“We are very excited to welcome concertgoers on-ground again, and with the usual lineup of incredible artists this summer,” saud Mark Hart, executive and artistic director of the Community Arts Program. “It’s an honor also to welcome concertgoers locally, from across the States, and the globem and a reward as well to see the growth of our afterschool music education program for all children and youth.
